The purpose is to stop the first google hit on someone's name being "self-promotional vanity tripe", which is a little cruel even when they did write the article - and when, as so often happens, they *didn't*, it's just nasty.
Most AFDs on people are filled with not particularly nice comments. It's dine we keep them for internal purposes, but it seems fair to stop leaving them obviously public to be stumbled upon. Blanking doesn't hide that there was a debate or hide the decision; what it *does* do is hide the most stupid excesses of the discussion.
The same could be said of requests for arbitration. Can we blank them too?
