Proposed Change

For example, in EIP-20, we have a very old Solidity version and the interfaces won't compile with recent Solidity versions.

We probably shouldn't rewrite old EIPs, but having our standards rot is also less than useful.

Some ideas:

  • Publish a new EIP with the same text, and updated Solidity.
  • Put a warning in the rendered Jekyll.

See #5887 for how I would like this to be done. I would love interfaces to be rewritten--as long as the spec doesn't functionally change.
