The rational for proposing the closure of the question is quite dubious to me.
Closing does nothing to prevent edits. Even more drastically, closing a question, quite literally asks for more edits. Indeed, by now the question is closed as "unclear what your are asking." In this way OP is told:
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking.
Thus if one takes the processes on this site at least somewhat seriously, OP is now explicitly encourage to perform (further) edits to the question. This seems completely at odds with what appears to be the root-cause of the request, annoyance about too many edits.
Given 1. and the formulation of the meta-post it seems closure is proposed as some kind of reprimand against the poster. However, I do not consider this as a good way to proceed. A question should be closed if and only if it is not suitable for this site, best regardless to most everything else. If there is a problem with the behavior of a user, there are other ways to address it. For the specific type of behavior we recently had a thread: How to discourage excessive self-edits? where some proposals for actions are made. Besides the point of view that it is not a big deal to begin with had a lot of support.
If there is a problem with the question, it can be closed. I do not know if there is one with the current question, but that OP broke a so-called promise is irrelevant to deciding this. (Tangentially, I feel there was no promise made, and if so it was rather kept in that for many months after it was made indeed no edit happened. Right, after half a year OP made one more edit, and two further months later another one (technically two, but for all practical purposes it is one).
Finally, while the merits of the question may be questionable, at least OP is invested in their post; in doubt I prefer that over users asking yet-another-question.
From the blog post Arthur linked to in the comments
To handle those rare situations where unusual activity levels may indicate misuse, we’ve added some new moderator flags in these scenarios: they can respond when necessary by closing or locking the post
Maybe a lock will be sufficient rather than closure?
