I'm not sure if John opposes the two blank lines rule or not; what I'm sure is that he opposes taking into account the invisible indentation of these blank lines into account. And I agree with that position.
The current rule is that code blocks start with four spaces or one tab of indentation. If a line has nothing but four spaces or a tab, that unambiguously suggests that the line should be an empty line in a code block. But equally, two completely blank lines, without any spaces at all, could quite unambiguously define the end of an environment such as a code block.
But I posit that this is really a non-issue, as there is almost no use for multiple consecutive code blocks with no commentary in between. I have never seen such a pattern used, and if in the one time in a million it comes up, the user needs to examine the whitespace in detail to figure out which is intended, I don't think it's worth adding an (ugly) extra syntax to fix.
