    Discussing #1692 with @luke-jr, realized that we may not have followed BIP2 process when updating BIP125 from Proposed to Obsolete.

    Per BIP2:

    “A Proposed BIP may progress to Final only when specific criteria reflecting real-world adoption has occurred.”

    “When a Final BIP is no longer relevant, its status may be changed to Replaced or Obsolete (which is equivalent to Replaced). This change must also be objectively verifiable and/or discussed.”

    BIP125 saw real-world adoption, so it would make sense to update it from Proposed to Final. But arguably not from Proposed to Replaced/Obsolete as done in #1692, as it was not final, not replaced by another BIP, and still relevant (also supported in at least one bitcoin implementation).

    Yeah, the replacement rules are still in use on the network, just the signaling part is being ignored by some node implementations. Returning it to Final is correct.
