   I believe this is ready for BIP number assignment?

   See also PR #639. (This topic should be brought up on the bitcoin-dev mailing list for discussion.)

   On further thought, we can wait on BIP number assignment for now, if the PR to Bitcoin Core isn’t merged then I’ll just withdraw this.

   @MarcoFalke That doesn’t address the question of whether to make BIPs for “technically a protocol change, but has no actual effect on the chain present or future”.

   Would the plan then be to document soft forks only after miners have actually rejected blocks by enforcing them?

   Talking about protocol upgrades, whether they are soft forks or hard forks, clearly they should be documented.

    That was my point, we don’t wait until there is a split to document a fork, we do it well beforehand. So the occurance of a split cannot be a threshold criteria.

    Upgrade is a loaded term, implying that there are other deviations that do not need to be documented. If the purpose of the documentation is to document the protocol, any deviation from the protocol needs to be documented.
