Why we want to block it? What's wrong in convincing people that your
idea is OK (or that it's not OK, for that matter)? Isn't it kind of the
whole point of discussing it?

So now parallel to voting we get threads announcing everybody's votes.
Yay, more noise!
Or, even worse, given current tendencies, somebody submits a proposal,
couple of people say "yeah good idea", then vote happens and somehow
there's 30 "no" votes without any explanation - and without possibility
to fix it since by the time the proposer knows it the proposal is
already declined. It wouldn't be very encouraging to submit RFCs with
such process.
