Pieter Wuille (aka sipa) 2 days ago had marke BIP62 as retired, see:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/commit/916142e742b4256686c26b15a0bf943aea3f5ef9

this has direct consequences on the LN development as you might get from this Rusty Russell email:

http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2015-November/000310.html

so it seems malleability fix is demanded to "Segregated Witness" [1] concept. In Rust word SegWit is still in pre-BIP, Pieter Wuille is working on a prototype, Luke Jr came up with a sanish way of soft-forking it in.
