That's not the same thing, I think. If you reject every proposal then you do nothing now, that is an outcome, but that is not a policy because it is implicit. If the policy is to do nothing, then it is explicit. It has a rationale and argumentation. It means that anyone even proposing one of these policies would be breaking with the former policy and, in a well organized rational policymaking process, would need to explain not only the merits of their new policy, but also why the old policy is invalid or needs to be broken up with.
