Great article about sunsetting.
Key point: "This is just not a good situation for the game to be in. It is abundantly clear that sunsetting has hurt the game more than it’s helped it, and that the problems with old weapons could have been solved with selective retirement rather than mass executions. Now we’re in a situation where a season may introduce 20 weapons but every single time we lose 20 weapons as a result. This is not sustainable or enjoyable, and something needs to change."

It also gives Bungie the opportunity to reintroduce old favorites for that nostalgia. The contrarian looks at a move like that as 'recycling old content''. However, I believe a healthy balance of each is needed to keep the game interesting.
