I think there needs to be social proof for nips. Not just "I use this" which is stupid and not provable, but formal working groups that agree on a certain version of NIPs. sandwich (nprofile…wys9) and I talked about this a while back. Call them "cabals" just for fun. Depending on who is in a given cabal, or how many forks a given cabal's spec has promotes the cabal. This is better than flat voting because different cabals will take a different level of ownership/responsibility for the spec they maintain. We can't just get rid of politics because we like decentralization.
