Maybe a good time to remind that BIPs are author documents that represent the authors’ recommendation to the Bitcoin community.

It was with too hard to get a BIP processed in the past, and now people put BIPs on a pedestal.

But BIPs are author documents. They don't present community consensus, they're the authors’ personal recommendation to the Bitcoin community, especially in Draft status.

It's good that we get a few controversial BIPs. It helps to make it clear that it's still the readers’ responsibility to make up their mind.
