We've heard of Chesterton's fence. This is a rare example of Chesterton's non-fence.

Chesterton's geofence.
It only appears rare for two reasons: the proposal consists of a literal fence, and we’ve no idea how many such failed or denied proposals have come before it.

Surely it must be well-known that it is exceedingly rare, but valuable, for an organization to document why they didn’t do certain things.

No, this is rare because of how how few places are called Chesterton.
