* Update ADR template
The reason for this proposed update to the ADR template is twofold:
1. There's currently no easy way to cross-reference between ADRs and
issues/PRs on GitHub. This may be easy to manage for those with
context while they're working on implementing an ADR, but after time
passes and for complex ADRs it gets more difficult for newcomers to
the codebase to track both the implementation status of the ADR or
its historical context and discussions.
2. We should not allow for "proposed" ADRs. An ADR is a **decision
record**, which implies acceptance, and not a proposal. RFCs provide
a mechanism to make proposals.

* Add example of one ADR superseding another

* Move "Proposed" ToC entries to "Accepted".
It's possible some of these should actually be "Implemented", but I did not try
to go through each one to distinguish.
* Revert "Move "Proposed" ToC entries to "Accepted"."
This reverts commit d8d2907e98.

Tendermint
Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!
Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications, Tendermint serves blockchain applications.
More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines. For more background, see What is Tendermint?.
To get started quickly with an example application, see the quick start guide.
To learn about application development on Tendermint, see the Application Blockchain Interface.
For more details on using Tendermint, see the respective documentation for Tendermint Core, benchmarking and monitoring, and network deployments.
To find out about the Tendermint ecosystem you can go here. If you are a project that is using Tendermint you are welcome to make a PR to add your project to the list.
