I have continually documented in the (currently closed) EIP-6269 why it is relevant to reconsider this, and numerous people have also shown support, e.g. on Twitter (I have linked some of them) & @xinbenlv also can see my arguments why it is important (see his comments here). I kindly ask you to reconsider your decision as I really think it is wrong to close this important, definitional EIP.

Yes, given the context of zkEVM, I think it's worthy to reopen this discussion about defining what's considered "EVM compliance"

Also we shall discuss it to be whether an informational or meta EIP?

Just for you to know, EIP editors decide to merge or not merge a proposal to the EIPs repository. Should you want to discuss this proposal with them, my recommendation will be to add a comment to the EIPIP meeting Agenda. If possible, join the meeting; if not, leave an explanation.

Thanks! I added it to the agenda with an explanation.
