Well, one may argue that the voting is about the concept, but not about a (preliminary) implementation. The main concern, in my opinion, is rather whether it is possible to implement the proposal without (much) drawbacks (such as general performance regression). A working patch would be helpful to prevent cases where we accept a proposal, but later face difficulties implementing it and/or can't agree on some of the details[1][2]. We may consider to augment the RFC process to clearly require a working implementation before starting the vote.
