This is a very lightweight approach to addressing the discussions around whether certain BIPs and other techniques that are very new or highly debated, should be included in the guide. It's a short paragraph at the end of the Content guidelines page in the Contribute section.

Also adds a table of contents to that page.

Small optional readability nit. Otherwise LGTM.

Comment thread guide/contribute/content-guidelines.md Outdated

Bitcoin technology keeps evolving, and not all new ideas end up being broadly adopted. Help readers understand what the current maturity and adoption status is, so they can make appropriate decisions in their own products. The [Stabilizing bitcoin value]({{ '/guide/how-it-works/stabilizing-bitcoin-value/' | relative_url }}) page is a good example.

When in doubt, ask the community for an evaluation. While the guide is forward-looking and covers a lot of areas, please also be understanding if the community feedback is that your topic should not be included. Also keep in mind that minds can change over time, especially by pragmatically addressing concerns.

small nit on readability

"please also be understanding if the community feedback suggests that your topic should not be included."

I had to re-read the original sentence a couple times to understand it. I think this helps make it just a bit clearer.
