Post History

I rejected several of the edits as post author, not as a moderator.  Edits to the content were trivial at best, usually none.  One suggested edit made the title longer without adding any meaning, thereby making it worse.  In most cases, the only change was the addition of a tag.

The fact the questions hadn't had activity for three years also weighed into my decisions.  In some cases, the whole topic wasn't relevant anymore because we'd moved on, the site software had progressed, etc.

I considered the cost of popping up old posts from by-gone times to be not worth the tag update.

The large simultaneous number of these edits also factored into my decision.  If we really want to nitpick and clean up tags on old posts, it should be done slowly to avoid conflicting with the real current content.  If there had been a single suggested edit, I might have thought <i>"Yeah OK.  Whatever."</i>.

Even then, I'd have to consider whether it was really worth it.  Tags and our usage of them evolve over time.  I really don't want to see all old posts dredged up whenever current tag philosophy would require a change.
