In a comment in one of our Meta discussions Aarthi announced a set of changes to the closing procedure:
This is currently in spec-stage so I don't have lots of details available, but suffice it to say: how we handle closures/question rehab is going to be revisited in the next year, and the methodology of communicating this to the end user is expected to receive a complete makeover.
What changes have already been announced and how can I be part of the discussion for future changes?
