I presume it's these and other such items are currently being deliberated; however, I've yet to hear any confirmation of such changes--though I'm expecting something soon.
I filled out a similar questionnaire last year. There must have been over 30 rules change ideas ranging from practical to ludicrous.

Absolutely none of them got adopted.

I think those surveys are as much about gaining insight on long-term opinion trends as they are about next year's rules changes.
