Because it has been dead for so long. Why are you afraid of
discussion on this? It is not as if it the week long delay actually
matters. I shall not be releasing a new version of policy for at
least that long, if not longer, and I doubt if any of the other
maintainers shall do so either. Why *not* discuss it longer? Things
may have changed since the proposal was live.

You go in and manipulate a rejected proporal without asking
for permission, so why start now? In any case, the proposer/seconds
are supposed to be monitoring the status of policy proposals (that
should have been clear from the instructions in the policy update
proposal).
