Progress Tags

It should be assumed that all FIPs are in 'draft' stage, i.e., open to collaboration and accepting community input, unless otherwise specified with the following tags:

Draft - A FIP which has been merged, but is still open for community consideration
Last Call - A complete FIP draft, in the final two weeks of community feedback before acceptance/rejection
Accepted - A FIP that is approved for on-chain incorporation and is awaiting implementation
Deferred - A FIP proposal that was put on hold, after a PR draft had already been submitted
Implemented - A FIP that has been accepted by the community and committed on-chain

If given one of the above tags, a FIP number will also (always) be present.

Technical Tags

Each FIP Discussion item is already opened in a corresponding category: Governance, Technical, Organizational, and Miscellaneous.

Technical FIPs are the most common, and will be labeled according to the following sub-types:

Miscellaneous Tags
