Zach,

Thanks for the comments. I just sent out another email to the dev alias
with the other two BIPs that I mentioned last week. It is pending approval
now. I think it will talk about some of the things you mentioned. To avoid
having a lot of comments about those BIPs on this thread, let's use the new
thread for discussing those BIPs.
