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.
But in such a system an edit summary of "." is exactly equivalent to a blank edit summary, so I don't see the difference.
The difference is that a blank edit summary can be the result of someone not knowing/forgetting to enter a summary, whereas a "." is an intentional act.
