My understanding of tech is zero (negative, maybe) so I tend to stay out of the dev conversation but it's finally starting to dawn on me that these NIP-01 conversations are pretty important.

I'm reading through the nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl notes on this and trying to understand, and Michael's note below makes a lot of sense to me.

So basically if NIP - 01 is forever in draft form, clients built on it in today's version could find themselves in trouble if/when there are changes in the future?

Since specific features can be added in subsequent NIPs, doesn't it make sense to have some of the foundational ones be agreed on and finalized? (is this a bit like leaving btc alone but innovating in layer 2?)
