There are a couple of recent RFCs, including some in voting now, where I don't 
know enough about the subject to have an opinion, but I do want to be able to 
give the author the respect of having read it and acknowledged it.  It also 
signals that I am paying attention and engaging, even if I don't have any 
particular input on this particular RFC.

So even without getting into quorum or "use it or lose it" policies, I would 
still find Abstain useful.  Maybe not critical, but useful.  And getting it in 
place, and people used to it, could simplify future steps of using Abstain for 
those or other things.
