This EIP attempts to raise the barriers for bailouts. + + +## Specification +If a pull request is opened that advocates for bailouts or implements code that will execute bailouts on the Ethereum blockchain, it will be closed by the maintainers. + + +## Justification +Bailouts play favorites with some accounts on the Ethereum blockchain. This is corruption we can not tolerate in the official Ethereum repositories. + + +## Rationale +The primary consideration for the approach described above was to reject all bailouts. A secondary consideration was to standardize the response to such pull requests. + + +## Copyright +Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
