I agree. However, our system _is_ mostly based on discussion. The propsal + RFC process serves this very purpose: Present ideas, discuss them and improve them based on discussion. The "vote" isn't really a vote, because it doesn't decide anything. No one is forced to use an "approved" feature when mapping or writing software, no one is prevented from using a "rejected" feature. So I don't think we need to abandon "voting". Probably we should just relabel that to "poll" or something and make clear that it isn't binding in any way. It's merely a quick indicator whether consensus has been reached and a way of getting some more discussion started.
