It would be nice to decouple the venue, but even BIP 1 gives that
control to whoever controls the mailing list: "Following a
discussion, the proposal should be sent to the bitcoin-dev list and
the BIP editor with the draft BIP." (BIP 1)<br>
<br>
A neater way to do it might be to replace references to the mailing
list with "public discussion medium" where "medium" can be defined
as something like any discussion forum frequented by the wider
development community, like the pull requests section of the BIP
repo, conferences, etc.<br>

I plan to open discussion of making this BIP an Active
status (along with BIP<br>
123) a month after initial revisions have completed.
Please provide any<br>
objections now, so I can try to address them now and
enable consensus to be<br>
reached.<br>

<div>I like the more concrete definitions of the various
statuses.</div>

</div>
<div>I don't like the definition of "consensus". I think the
definition described gives too much centralized control to
whoever controls the mailing list and the wiki.</div>
