How ironic, this thread is in the wrong forum.
That being said, I largely agree with you (and have said this in the past). The problem is I'm not really sure it's right for staff to be making the decision on "this is minimalistic" and "this is not minimalistic". I mean, let's be honest, I've approved a lot of addons where I've said "this really shouldn't be an addon". But it's not my place to be choosing which addons should be released to the public.
Keep in mind, though, this is just my $0.02 and not any indication of what site policy is or should be. It's just why I haven't acted on this yet, despite the fact that I agree with you.
