If one is undecided or does not have enough information\nregarding each BIP then dont fill it out. That also helps signal the\nlevel of consensus for a proposal.\n\nAs it stands at the moment, it's almost impossible to direct someone\nat the opinion of a specific developer other than hunting down a few\ngems scattered to the four corners of the universe. I tried recently\nand it was simply impossible. At least with this system, specific BIPs\naside, we can easily see the view of each developer. I think most of\nus can comment on BIP101 since the BIP appears non-negotiable.\n\nThe XT faction are easily winning the media war by obscuring rational\ndebate by high signal to noise ratio. Nicolas' solution means the most\nimportant views expressed by each heavyweight will not get lost and\nserve as a good reference point for everyone, including the media.\n\nThe site could be extended to include major stakeholders too like\nmajor service providers (think exchanges, wallet providers etc) and\nmining pools."}
