No, you probably won't get a response there, either. @p{par}

"All BIPs should" ... is too rigid, in my humble opinion. @p{par}

If the person championing the BIP thinks that a link to a discussion thread helps clarify or convince, then they should include a link.  But I don't think a hard-and-fast rule is the right thing to do, we'll just waste time arguing over WHICH discussion thread or threads should be linked... @p{brk}
