I am not sure that this is necessarily required for efficiency. 

In fact I would think that a case could be made that changes should be
able to be flagged as accepted or rejected and retained in the queue. 

Fully agree. Such a case could be for instance the implementation of a "version-travel" feature.

An
implementation that only implements a subset of the change tracking
items used may not be in the position to confidently delete accepted
item from anywhere but the bottom of the queue or rejected items from
anywhere but the top of the queue.

I am not certain if I understand the latter part correctly, but the meaning of the endings of the time-sorted queue in other words:

• the top is the latest operation with no other operation having a dependency
  
• the bottom is the first operation with all other operation (might) have a dependency

Best,
Svante
