the goal were to eventually get to all of the words and not just the ancient gismu we'd actually be losing ground.)
Probably the first step, then, should be to enforce the definition template for all new words. Currently, I believe, the web form for entering new lujvo into la jbovlaste encourages notes about the meanings of each sumti, but it doesn't
require it. If all new words suddenly had to fill in this more complete template, it would assure that we have a finite number of words to review.

The original plan was that there be two kinds of proposal/changes:
global and non-global. Global proposals concern lots of gismu at once
because they are about patterns and general things that need to or could
be done to the gimste. For example, "Remove all 'under conditions'
places", if agreed upon, would deal with a few hundred gismu at once.
In any case, if the goal is consistency, then certain decisions can be
made more quickly than if every single gismu and every single gismu
place has to be considered on a case-by-case basis and isolated from the
rest (of course, a case-by-case analysis will still be necessary, but
the decisions become much easier to make, pe'i).
