The following proposals have not been accepted, either deffered to a later time based on planning, or rejected based on concerns mentioned during the submission process.

• GSIP 12 - Mock Test Support — Provide base classes which make it trivial to develop unit tests based on a "mock" GeoServer setup.
• GSIP 17 - Community module handling
• GSIP 18 - Output Format Cleanup — A cleanup of the Output Format apis in GeoServer.
• GSIP 21 - KML Vector Transformer Refactoring — Clean up KMLVectorTransformer before it becomes more unmanageable than it already is.
• GSIP 24 - TIME-ELEVATION-BAND parameters parsing for WMS 1.1.1 WCS 1.X — The goal of this work is the introduction of initial capabilities to coherently parse TIME - ELEVATION - BAND parameters for WMS  1.1.1 and WCS 1.x modules.
• GSIP 36 - Resource - Publishing Split and Virtual Configuration — This proposal is deferred, as it is being done more incrementally, starting in gsips 66 and 67
• GSIP 37 - GPL plus Classpath Exception for Dispatch — Move the GeoServer dispatch system to GPL+Classpath Exception. (deferred - lost momentum)
• GSIP 3 - Issues List Module
• GSIP 40 - Review Process — Formalizing the GeoServer review processed.
• GSIP 43 - Roadmap and release handling process — A proposal for long and short term roadmap process and its relationship with releases and testing. Builds son top of the [GSIP 30 - Roadmap Process] experience and tries to improve over it.
• GSIP 45 - Moving GeoServer model in a standalone module — Moving the Geoserver catalog *Info beans into a standalone module.
• GSIP 4 - Status Interface
