Finally, the PR to assign BIP numbers to the first two BIPs of the "script restoration quartet". Here's the corresponding bitcoin-dev the mailing list post:

Hi all,

I've submitted a PR to the BIPs repo to merge the first two drafts of the previously posted[1] "A Bitcoin Scripting Proposal BIP Quartet":

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/2118

The only substantive change since the last discussion is that the costs have increased for some operations (hashing and copying bytes), as a result of benchmarking on a wider array of machines[2]. This follows our conservative approach to make the worst-case validation times no worse than they are presently, on any viable hardware.

The remaining two BIPs (OP_TX, and new opcodes) are not submitted: they are mainly useful to provide a roadmap what functional gaps remain after the script extensions, and do not have full implementations.

Cheers!
Rusty & Julian.

Nice. A reminder of how dumb I am as I have no idea a single thing here means.
