I was under the impression that I had already proved that they did not cease 
to exist, several times over.
I'm not going to look back through all the stuff, but I recall your argument 
being "it's not defined, so it suddenly ceases to exist", and I don't buy 
that.  Nowhere is there a rule that says "when something exists, and there 
is no rule saying exactly what it is, it suddenly ceases to exist".  You 
could argue that a rule that says "There exists X", when repealed, might 
take X with it, but that's still debateable.  But how much or how little is 
known or defined about something doesn't change whether or not it exists.

You've stated a few times how it's been assumed that the Immunity Idol and 
such have disappeared.  Maybe they haven't; maybe they've floated around 
uselessly, with nobody keeping track of them, and no rules affecting them.  
Depends on the rules involved and proposals modifying/repealing them.
