That should be a warnable offense.
Why not make blank edit summaries a "warnable offense", then? It'd be essentially the same thing.
I was speaking in the context of software-enforced mandatory summaries, which would make blank summaries impossible - certainly not otherwise.
How about a software confirmation prompt for blank summaries, at least for non-logged-in users. This would require an extra mouse-click or keystroke, but would ensure that everyone who edits at least knows that the summary is available, and is normally expected.
