Curious if this is an unpopular opinion: 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. Especially in Draft stage, they do not present community consensus — they're the authors’ personal recommendation to the Bitcoin community. It seems good to me that we get a few controversial BIPs. It clears up that it's still the readers’ responsibility to make up their mind.
