bip-0002: allow anyone to inactivate, not reject

Addresses the issue with needless and reckless rejecting of BIPs solely due to time passing. Instead allow anyone to inactivate a BIP. Rejection should be done based on BIP inapplicability. This does not retroactively undo the rejections made so far. See #1006 discussion for details.

Specification

Addresses the issue with needless and reckless rejecting of BIPs solely due to time passing. Instead allow anyone to inactivate a BIP. Rejection should be done based on BIP inapplicability.

This does not retroactively undo the rejections made so far.

See #1006 discussion for details.

Note: I didn't realize there was an .svg source for the process.png file, so I rewrote the thing from scratch in latex. The .tex file is added in this commit. If people prefer, I will try to rewrite in the .svg format, but I put some effort into it so please compare the tex version first.

Todo:

  • [ ] Update svg; remove tex stuff.
