I think this is another reminder of why we need to do a better job explaining the EIP and Ethereum upgrade process to the broader community. Dear @MikeSilagadze, I understand the concerns, but there’s no need to panic just yet. A few notes that may help: - The proposal "Tapered Issuance Burn" is added as a new pull request 48 hours prior to the next ACDC call. - It doesn’t even have an EIP number yet (the number referenced is already assigned to another proposal). - Being proposed for inclusion (PFI) doesn’t mean it’s going to be on the mainnet. It simply means the authors are asking for the proposal to be discussed with Core Devs. - If authors get an opportunity to share, it will be a "PFI - Proposed For Inclusion" to Hegota, an upgrade which will be on Ethereum mainnet after Glamsterdam, (which is expected approximately in the next 3-4 months). - If the proposal moves forward, there will still be months of discussion, implementation, testing, and community feedback before anything could ever reach mainnet. - August 6th is the deadline to submit Hegota and thus this PR with a proposal: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/12081 - Here is the Pull Request to Hegota PFI https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/12087 If anyone disagrees with the proposal, now is actually the best time to say so. Ethereum’s process is designed for exactly this kind of feedback. I’d encourage everyone to share their thoughts where the authors and core developers can see them: Join Discussion: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-xxxx-tapered-issuance-burn/29263 The earlier the feedback comes in, core devs can make an informed decision. I hope this helps!(Pooja Ranjan | ranjan.eth)
