I agree with this approach—reserving kind numbers and providing unofficial specs for each. Then fight on the network for real adoption.

The NIP repository, and other approaches, are a repeat of centralized governance. You PR to the NIP repo not to announce the way you're doing a thing, but to attempt to control how everyone else does that thing. Your intentions don't matter; that is how the system is shaped.

So we inevitably got what we got—a high drama and contentious, centralized repository where those with the loudest voices and biggest followings have the most power.

Good summary of the current situation.

Nobody reads, the few remaining have lost enthusiasm

You read this note, so there is still some reading going on.

Specs don't have to be long, and I hope they won't be.

NIPs, nostrability, someone uses wiki, nostrhub, NERDs. People understand that it's already somewhat difficult to read everything and keep up.
