Old ideas can pollute discussions. Like in this meta thread.

Proposed solution: ideas could be archived automatically if they haven’t been revised or criticized in 90 days, say.

This could inadvertently hide dormant but important ideas.

Could do it only for ideas with pending criticisms. If they have pending criticisms, how important can they be? This has the added benefit of creating an incentive for proponents of ideas to address criticisms.

Would ideas that no longer have pending criticisms (perhaps because the criticism chain has been flipped further down) be pulled out of the archive?
