-1 Everyone can see from the dates since when a proposal is proposed. Something like "expired", "resting" or "paused" does not have any benefit besides discouraging unexperienced mappers from using it, while it may already be "de-facto" approved. Here's an example for a proposal that has been a long time in proposed state but has already some "not to bad" usage numbers: 4 yrs old, 13K uses: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/advertising Here is another proposal, also not voted AFAIK: 4yrs old, 3,3K uses: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/tombs Another one: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/monastery 4yrs old, 697 uses Here's another one, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/aqueduct 4yrs old, 278 uses And here yet another one, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/obelisk 4 yrs old, 163 uses Now, how can we determine that usage is high and the proposal can be considered "active by use"? 13K uses seems a lot, but compared to advertising objects that are covered by this proposal and exist in the world, it is likely a very low percentage of them mapped. On the other hand, 163 uses don't seem much, but if you have a look how many obelisks there are in the world, maybe the percentage is not too bad, likely higher than that of the advertising proposal. The same holds true for historic aqueducts (the proposal above is just for historic ones). Cheers, Martin
