I keep seeing this notion crop up.

I want to kill this idea right now:

   - There were months of public discussion leading to up the authoring of
   BIP 101, both on this mailing list and elsewhere.

   - BIP 101 was submitted for review via the normal process. Jeff Garzik
   specifically called Gavin out on Twitter and thanked him for following the
   process:

   https://twitter.com/jgarzik/status/614412097359708160

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/163

   As you can see, other than a few minor typo fixes and a comment by sipa,
   there was no other review offered.

   - The implementation for BIP 101 was submitted to Bitcoin Core as a pull
   request, to invoke the code review process:

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6341

   Some minor code layout suggestions were made by Cory and incorporated.
   Peter popped up to say there was no chance it'd ever be accepted ..... and
   no further review was done.

So the entire Bitcoin Core BIP process was followed to the letter. The net
result was this. There were, in fact, bugs in the implementation of BIP
101. They were found when Gavin submitted the code to the XT community
review process, which resulted in *actual* peer review. Additionally, there
was much discussion of technical details on the XT mailing list that
Bitcoin Core entirely ignored.
