Why are you rejecting them based solely on the fact that they haven't
had any discussion in a while? That doesn't mean much of anything. I
certainly doesn't mean they aren't necessary good ideas. It only means
for sure that no one has had the time to work on and implement. And
even if they are implemented, they can often just sit there b/c no one
in core team has taken time to evaluate.

Instead of rejecting these, how about bumping them to higher versions.
And only reject proposals on the basis of their merits.
