General outline:
- whereas EEP-1 defines distinct consensus updates, this is suggesting a framework for upgrading the Ethereum network
- this suggests moving from ad-hoc hardforking to fixed-schedule
- this defines a process with all required stages of hardforking:
- gathering EIPs, deadline to accept them
- proof-of-concept phase, deadline to implement them
- testing phase, fuzzing the new code, deadline to update test suites
- testnet rollout (ropsten, görli, or ad-hoc testnets)
- mainnet rollout
- each stage should come with a best possible defined timeline and a set of conditions required to accept or postpone proposals
