Saying that it's your preference without saying why is likely to have
little effect, yes.  (We endeavor to make decisions based on technical
merit, not voting, after all.)  Why do you want this?  TLS 1.1 seems to
have minimal usage (less even than 1.0) and is much closer to 1.0 than 1.2
(let alone 1.3) in terms of design and safety.

I don't expect implementations to abandon SCSV any faster than they abandon
TLS 1.0 or 1.1.  But if the official advice is that 1.0 and 1.1 are
obsolete, then the official advice should also be that SCSV is obsolete --
its function is performed in a different way by the newer versions of TLS.
