The proposal to create the Draft namespace was partially to make things easier on the homegrown solutions. It wasn't to render them unneeded through software changes. The closure states: "... no challenge was made to the proviso that AfC would continue as it currently does. This community discussion does not change the AfC process—any such decisions should be ones that the AfC WikiProject should make through further consensus-based discussion if they deem it to be necessary." Steven said: "Now that's clear there's support, let's work on defining what the absolute minimum viable requirements are for the new namespace." The requirement was met. It was proposed and gained consensus. I understand that you want to create further requirements now because you personally think there should be some -- but that's not how this is supposed to work. Your suggestions may have merit, but can be discussed and implemented later. Implementing the draft space now does no harm to them.
