The IETF makes a clear distinction between individual proposals and
documents which have been accepted by a working group. The former are
named after their authors. =C2=A0Work is not assigned a number until it is<= br> complete.

Talking about complete, BIP 4= 0 and 41 don't even have an associated document:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips
I agree that was over-eager number assigning.
