Ethereum yellowpaper metathread

1

Hey everyone, I am currently working in updating the yellowpaper to more current specifications, so far this are the EIPS I am including in it

London

EIP-1559: Fee market change for ETH 1.0 chain
EIP-3198: BASEFEE opcode
EIP-3529: Reduction in refunds
EIP-3541: Reject new contracts starting with the 0xEF byte
EIP-3554: Difficulty Bomb Delay to December 1st 2021

Gray Glacier

EIP-5133: Delaying Difficulty Bomb to mid-September 2022

Paris

EIP-3675: Upgrade consensus to Proof-of-Stake
EIP-4399: Supplant DIFFICULTY opcode with PREVRANDAO

Shanghai

EIP-3651: Warm COINBASE
EIP-3855: PUSH0 instruction
EIP-3860: Limit and meter initcode
EIP-4895: Beacon chain push withdrawals as operations
EIP-6049: Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT

Also, there are some mismatches between the yellowpaper and the specifications, EIP684 was born aout of it. What I want to know from you is, what changes/additions/subtractions would you make in the yellowpaper?

Also, this threat itself is an attempt to organize efforts in this front, Iā€™m open to suggestions

One suggestion I would like to make is to have one yellowpaper for consensus layer and another one for execution layer, let me know what everyone thinks

Nice idea. Separate papers could allow for more accurate and up-to-date documentation of each layer, reducing discrepancies and confusion.

Another reason I want to do that is because other chains tend to change the consensus and keep the execution mostly the same, this way this yellowpaper-EL could still be useful for more than Ethereum
