[bitcoin-dev] BIP Final status

[bitcoin-dev] BIP Final status

[Luke Dashjr]

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/314 proposes updating the status of many 
Accepted BIPs to Final:

BIP 11: M-of-N Standard Transactions
BIP 14: Protocol Version and User Agent
BIP 21: URI Scheme
BIP 22: getblocktemplate - Fundamentals
BIP 23: getblocktemplate - Pooled Mining
BIP 31: Pong message
BIP 32: Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets
BIP 34: Block v2, Height in Coinbase
BIP 35: mempool message
BIP 37: Connection Bloom filtering
BIP 65: OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY

This PR has been open for a week, and I plan to merge it within the next week 
unless there are objections.

Additionally, https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/315 proposes to upgrade 
five additional from Draft to Final status, and preferably needs ACKs from the 
champions of the BIPs:

BIP 50: March 2013 Chain Fork Post-Mortem, by Gavin Andresen
BIP 60: Fixed Length "version" Message (Relay-Transactions Field), by Amir
        Taaki
BIP 64: getutxo message, by Mike Hearn
BIP 66: Strict DER signatures, by Pieter Wuille
BIP 73: Use "Accept" header for response type negotiation with Payment Request
        URLs, by Stephen Pair

Thanks,

Luke

It may be good to update BIP 50 with the new information that calling it
a "hard fork" misses subtleties about what happened during that fork. In
particular, 0.7 rejection of the chain was non-deterministic, based on
having seen a re-org in a specific way.

I agree BIP 50 could use some rephrasing, but the May 2013 change was 
definitely a hardfork, despite the problems with the pre-March protocol.
