A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It’s no different. A new version of the consensus code needs written and deployed.
That page you linked is the same on all chains. All have a proposal, discussion, implementation, waiting period (for code to be deployed), and activation. That’s just blockchain 101
I though most of those steps didn't occur on-chain in the case of bitcoin. But I could be mistaken.
Woule you mind sharing a link with the equivalent information on bitcoin, ie its governance process and how each governance operation (proposal, vote, activation ) is handled by the chain?
I'm looking at BIP 9 and its stated goal is to support soft forks
This imply BIP-9 doens't help with non-backward-compatible changes, ie doesn't help prevent hard forks.
