For now, it's impossible and likely to stay this way. It's also a good point that some coins which are presumed to be stolen might be unmoved for other reasons, a person has the right to not move one's coins. If you didn't touch the money in your bank account savings for 5 years, would you find it fair if the bank redistributed all your money to some random people? If not, then you shouldn't want the retrieval of "lost" coins either. Also, if one day it does become possible to crack the keys (say, due to huge progress in quantum computing), the moment it becomes possible Bitcoin itself becomes obsolete because the money isn't protected any more. So there won't be a point of retrieving something worthless.

We can't make any decisions, that is the difference. I mean the talk here is that "maybe we should redistribute it again" or something like that but at the end of the day we can't do that. We can't retrieve it, so all the discussion about "should we?" goes to nothing at all.

If the discussion is about something that we can't do, can we please talk about how I would like to spend a day with Kate Upton and Alexandria Daddario at the same time? That has more chance of happening than Bitcoins untouched to be redistributed, one is "technically" possible, obviously not going to happen, but at least it is not "impossible", the other one is literally impossible to do.
