| Aug 1, 2019 at 9:21 | comment | added | Richard Horrocks | Writing a whole new paper from scratch would be pointless, as 99% of it would be identical to an earlier version of the original YP. As I mentioned in my first comment, you could argue that the ECIPs are themselves "papers" which act as additions to the original YP. | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 9:21 | comment | added | Richard Horrocks | I imagine there are several things they need to consider. a) How permissive the licence on the Yellow Paper is (I haven't checked - it's probably fine though), b) the effort required to ensure any updates are mathematically sound (the Yellow Paper has to be academically rigorous), c) whether it's worth going through the process of updating the paper for the relatively minor changes in the ECIPs. Further to c), updates would have to be made each time a new ECIP is approved. | |

| Jul 31, 2019 at 8:04 | comment | added | Richard Horrocks | Those changes are detailed in the relevant ECIPs, which is the second bullet-point. The (accepted/finalised) ECIPs act as addenda to the Yellow Paper at the point the two chains split. | |
