Method | Rough Consensus |
Deadline | October 13, 2023 |
-0.9 (Vote: "NO") for reasons previously stated.
+1, reasoning: broken window (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory)
+1, I left my comment in original PR https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/5270#issuecomment-1701764939: there are suspicious number snipping activities preceding the 5000 numbering and author is an EIP editor.
Normally authors have the benefit of doubt. However this time the author an EIP Editor in a position of trust so I think we shall hold them to a higher standard. Therefore, I seconded the suggestion @abcoathup that the author seek a different number.
no
@g11tech the "broken window theory" isn't very good reasoning for renumbering this because assigning the number 5000 wasn't a "crime". You don't make something illegal and then go back and prosecute people who broke the law before it was a law.
No (but I don't have a vote). EIP editors shouldn't force a renumber, though I encourage the authors to seek a new number. Whilst the numbering is unfair, it wasn't against the rules in EIP-1 https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/5270#issuecomment-1689249709
Thanks for clarifying. I do agree with you it's better the author of this EIP seek a different number themselves first.
Maybe different from you, in the event the author is not responding i do think due to editors shall be held higher standards when authoring, in event of doubt, I support merging the PR of renumbering
I am in favour of renumbering.
From @gcolvin:
Just let it go, why are we wasting time on this. It wasn't against the rules at the time.
Official Keeper of Consensus ruling: consensus is to not renumber.
The extremely short summary (from memory, so things may be out of order or just wrong):
