Planet recycling system

This could be in addition to some of the recent planet ideas.
I propose that any planet that is not improved after a certain length of time, whether it is in defense or the bonus, be released back into the galaxy so someone else can take it, but the defense goes back to 0. This will get rid of the loose planets that are lost in the low ranks of those who don't play. On the off chance that someone does play and hasn't improved the planet, it could send you a message saying:
"The residents of (planet name) have rebelled, as they have been ignored for the past (however long until it is released). The rebels have defeated the army stationed there and managed to release the planet from your system. The chances of seeing the planet and its inhabitants again are slim."
Or something like that. The timeframe could be anywhere from a week to a month or something before it is released, and could maybe include a warning, like:
"Your army reports that (planet name) has been acting rebellious lately."
Or something.
This will keep more planets being put back in, and will keep people improving their planets as well, so they don't just sit in the person's system without any problems.
This is up for debate and suggestions, and sounds like it would be a good add-on to any other planet upgrade, or by itself.
