Luke Dashjr Promotes Rival BIP Repository as ‘Official’

The dispute is less about any single proposal than about who controls the record of Bitcoin's technical history — and Dashjr's move asserts that authority unilaterally while the original repository keeps operating with its five editors. That split matters for anyone who treats BIP numbers and status labels as a neutral reference point, since two competing versions now claim legitimacy. Whether the wider developer base treats the fork as authoritative or ignores it is the open question, and it will show up in where new proposals get filed and cited.
