I guess we should really highlight also
such option and discuss this more rationally back then. Now, we have
postponed this until who knows when and also without any clear
guideline for what will happen with short tags if they will be ever
removed or not...


I honestly don't think it would make any difference to most people who voted against. The counter-arguments people have presented, again and again, are not about the pace of removal, but about whether removal is needed at all. If anyone wants to revive this proposal in future, it is that counter-argument that they would need to understand and address.
