It is still considered so that those who have voted on the consideration are able to check back and see how the vote tally has progressed.

It will be unconsidered automatically after a few weeks since surely nobody will take action on that consideration request.

I'm sure you could see how it would be frustrating to feel strongly one way or the other about a consideration, vote on it (perhaps before anybody else has voted on it), get involved in one's real life, then come back to the site to check on the consideration and find no evidence of the consideration ever having happened.

It would be nice to have a consideration log. We don't currently have such. At least until that changes, it is good for considerations to not be removed hastily.

Thank you for calling attention to overzealous considerations. We still have too many of those, as I've expressed many times. "Don't sweat the small stuff".
