is in scope and has met other formal criteria for this repository, but does not indicate that it is a good idea, has
community consensus, or that it is about to be adopted. The BIP Editors are expected to be liberal with publishing BIPs
and to try not to be too involved in decision-making on behalf of the community. Beyond the formal criteria, evaluation of

and cannot be agreed upon. In those cases, the conservative option will always be preferred.
the proposals is left to the audience of the repository. When a proposal is controversial and it cannot be agreed upon
whether it should be published, the conservative option will always be preferred: the proposal will be closed.
Those proposing and opposing changes should consider that ultimately acceptance and adoption rests with the Bitcoin
users (see also: [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Economic_majority economic majority]).
