    Nak. This is actually a serious change, though the explanation is tongue in cheek.

    I should hope that you don’t want the supply of Bitcoins to be weirdly infinite due to a software oversight.

    NAK. Let’s just leave it be.

    Python Improvement Proposals, even the RFCs contain some joke/jest articles. No need to let this turn into dogecoin but we shouldn’t take ourselves too serious either.

    I believe @schildbach incorrectly assumed this BIP is about making the supply infinite.

    @laanwj ACK @sipa I’ll admit so did I at first, before I realized how brilliant you guys were. :)

    Kinda reminds of of the Lee Valley Story Tape tape measure: http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=65359&cat=1,43513 Both an April fools joke, and a real product with some niche uses in production woodworking. (covering a regular tape measure with masking tape is often written up as a clever trick)
