Re: A suggestion: Add status flags to BPs?

Hi Phil,

I like the idea of rating BP, but I'm afraid that's gonna be hard to
make such rating now (we can always try). I'm not sure if we can say
to people that a BP may be tested if we didn't make any test
ourselves.

Maybe we can add a note on the introduction of the BP section to
reinforce that this a draft and some BP are unstable and need to be
tested, and people are welcome to give feedback about our proposals.

+1 to Eric!

Cheers,
Bernadette
