Until this BIP is active, its rules do not apply, so this would be a form of circular reasoning. I like the idea of putting conditions for activation in the BIP text, but I don't think we can just let the author set any conditions they like either...

The idea here is that if the system doesn't even work for itself, it shouldn't activate. Currently the conditions are a bit fuzzy with some flaws, so I'd like to narrow those down before changing the BIP from being a draft and making it eligible for succeeding by its own rules.

Ok, so these are additional conditions? Can you clarify this in the draft?

I am tentatively soft-assigning this to BIP 2. Unless someone gives a good reason within the next week why this should not become BIP 2, it will get this assignment. |

@andychase The whole concept of "acceptance by committee" is wrong and invalidates much of this BIP see https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-September/010955.html tl;dr: The status of a BIP is defined by it's adoption, not by a committee. |

@btcdrak Thanks for your continued feedback. Can you send your comment to the mailing list? I'd love for it to see a wider audience. Furthermore I want to reply but I believe that this forum isn't for conceptional discussions relating to BIPs. I value your thoughts but I want to make I follow the right procedures! |

After some thought I'd like to raise an objection to the BIP-2 number assignment. I think BIPS 1-9 should be specifically reserved for a BIPS that proposes to replace BIP-1 in its entirety. This one is for a specific part of the BIP lifecycle; and will hopefully inspire other ones similar. |
