Your comment is very well thought out, and I completely agree with both of the considerations you've raised.
The second point, in particular, is crucial since it will make merging existing PRs quite challenging. I believe this is something that should be carefully discussed. However, as the saying goes, "You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs." In other words, some sacrifices are inevitable for the sake of significant progress. Additionally, except for a few PRs, most have not been updated in a while, so I think closing them would be reasonable.
