Dear colleagues,
In early November, I asked whether there was support for adopting BIP 3
as the guideline for the BIPs Process.
In response, about a dozen respondents stated support for activating
BIP 3. Some respondents raised concerns that resulted in changes to the
BIP or otherwise were addressed here on the mailing list. The adopted
changes were summarized here on the mailing list (see
https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/j4_toD-ofEc/m/esV-XScYAAAJ). A
few respondents seemed to imply general support, but requested reversal
of the recently introduced LLM-policy, which has since been implemented.
As there was no further follow-up to raised concerns in over three
weeks, I posit that the concerns have been addressed satisfactorily.
In detail, Ava Chow, David Gumberg, Jon Atack, Jonas Nick, Gloria Zhao,
Michael Ford, Ruben Somsen, Greg Sanders, and Antoine Poinsot explicitly
stated support for activating BIP 3 before the amendment.
Pieter Wuille supported activation conditional on the reversal of the
LLM-guidance.
Concerns by David Harding, Luke Dashjr, and Melvin Carvalho have been
addressed.
The amended proposal has been explicitly endorsed (again) by AJ Towns,
Tim Ruffing, and Pol Espinasa after the December 15th update.
It is my perception that among those that commented, support for
activation significantly outweighed rejection, and that all concerns
have been addressed. As Melvin Carvalho pointed out, that I, as the
Author of the proposal, should not be the one to assess whether BIP 3
has rough consensus. I therefore request that others, especially
participants in the BIPs process, comment on whether they perceive there
to be rough consensus for activating BIP 3.
Thanks,
Murch

I think there is a rough consensus for BIP3.

No objections have been raised since Nov 29, and all objections were responded
to on the mailing list on Dec 2 and addressed in the BIP on Dec 16. The latest
version of the activation PR [0] has received multiple ACKs.
Therefore, I see rough consensus and BIP 3 should activate. The current
uncertainty is adding friction to the BIP process.

Thanks Jonas, Chris, and Coperbyte Solutions for weighing in.
I rebased the Activation PR today so that it applies the process changes
also to the recently published BIP 433. The Activation PR is now again
(from a technical point of view) ready for merge.
Best,
Murch
