Important: Deadline for ZIPs (likely Dev Fund related) that want to be activated next halvening

Here is a summary of the dev-fund-related proposed ZIPs that can be possibly included by the next halving in November. Thanks @str4d for the work with the graphs (they show how the subsidy is split for each block being mined, in that proposal)

I urge everyone to read the ZIPs and to not rely solely on this summary. (Also please double check the summary)

Note that most proposals spell out that they can be terminated or modified early if the community decides to, but that should always be true for any ZIPs.

The community has until July 15th to decide which option, if any, should be implemented for the next halving in November.

Thank you to all ZIP authors, editors and contributors for all the work that went into this!
