Yes, true, that could happen. Thats a good thought.

Having abstentions can still be used for signalling that in future the
change could be ok - if it is interpreted as: 0 = Currently I can't say, that
this should go through for $reason, -1 = This should not go through, and
this will not change)

If abstentions would lower the necessary +1 votes, this would
automatically give the author of a proposal a +1 vote for the proposal,
depending on the author being in FESCo himself/herself.

I think finally it boils down to the question, if it should be a bar
that should be reached / "at least x people are in favor" or if it
should be a majority vote / "more people in favor than against"

All the best,
David
