Only 30 days and -1 to remove a question?

This was just brought to my attention by this question.

From meta.se a question can be removed

If the question is more than 30 days old, and ...

  • has −1 or lower score
  • has no answers
  • is not locked

Does this not seem extreme? Questions can be answered months later and, as pointed out in the previous question, this can be easily exploited.

If I did not like a question, I could just wait 30 days, vote it down and it would be removed?

Is it just me, or is this far to heavy handed?

I am not advocating for a change exactly but I would really like to here others opinions on this rule, do you like it?

Perhaps 90 days or -3 would be better here?

Please discuss.
