A `requires` dependency is created when the current EIP cannot be understood or implemented without a concept or technical element from another EIP. Merely mentioning another EIP does not necessarily create such a dependency.

#### `adoptable` header

EIPs may have a `adoptable` header. There are a two options available:

- `false`: No changes.
- `any`: If the EIP stagnantes, any individual can choose to champion the EIP, subject to the approval of an editor. Specifically, this permits any editor to merge a pull request submitted by any other person, so long as that pull request only changes a proposal's `status` header from `Stagnant` to `Draft`, and appends the individual's name as a co-author, and as long as that proposal has `adoptable: any` set.
