Yes, that's the proposal.
Coming to a frozen version of NIPs and incrementing from there in steps, freezing and announcing major steps.
Most developers are building software. They can't spend all day reading NIPs.
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?)

Thanks for explaining (and for all of your posts on this!).
So what we need as a community is a way to decide which NIPs to freeze (and when)? Probably a huge challenge in decentralized systems!
I wonder if two prominent voices - say, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft- could lead a convo on this.
I've recently started reading about human swarm intelligence for making decisions. Sounds very promising but I don't yet quite understand how it works. On Substack: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/ask-the-whole-world-a-question-and

yeah, humans have much more processing capacity than all the computers in the world, but the misanthropist slave drivers are trying to sell us this idea we can be replaced
