this thing about "nips being approved" and in this case "buds being approved" is quite funny
if you know it works, just build it
you know why "being approved" matters? because the majority of important clients are built by guardians of the nips
you know what the solution is? start building towards your own clients
they are not competent or qualified to be guardians of the protocol if they can't comprehend the need to innovate, and if that innovation doesn't happen, there is a net harm in that existing problems remain unsolved
my personal take on this is forget about trying to get approval from the nip guardians, write the spec, and get some quality client devs to integrate it, build a team and get a typescript library written for it, done
then after that the nip guardians are playing catch-up
this is why #gitcitadel has happened
