I think something like this (or just releasing unused primitives) would be
useful. There is a clear advantage to "locking in" primitives: they are
designed to be used by multiple authors; if they are not properly examined
and said to be good, they may need to be changed. . .breaking parts that
used them. (Especially with parts on the Tracker for a long time,
multiple parts might use a primitive before there is a strong reason to
review it carefully.)
