The nicer format is "X Change/Improvement Proposal" or something similar, shorted to "XCP/XIP". Not sure where it originally comes from, but is pretty popular in various protocol circles, Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) is one example.
- goku12 1y agoThere are NIPs (for Nostr), PEPs (for Python)... But they all have the problem that parent is complaining about. The possibilities/proposal part of the names remain even after they have been accepted or rejected.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoIt kind of makes sense! First you make a proposal, and then it's a accepted proposal or rejected one. Just because it changed state doesn't mean it's no longer a "proposal". Compared to a RFC. If it's accepted/rejected, it's still a RFC, which isn't really true anymore, comments are no longer requested.
