Not merging the Ordinals BIP is a mistake.
The BIP process is supposed to document ecosystem conventions, not gatekeep them. If widely deployed standards can't be specified as BIPs, developers are left guessing when the process even applies.
The cost of that ambiguity is high.
For the microscopic benefit of excluding a single proposal the editors believe should not be a BIP, we risk discouraging future contributions. Fewer things that should be BIPs will likely become BIPs.
Immediately, I am now considering not submitting some in flight work of mine as a BIP.
