This is a good direction in materialize the basic principles of bitcoin governance. At least I think there is a common sense that consensus is the most important thing and it has highest priority above anything else
If one of the devs block a solution then it means there is no full consensus, so the rest of the devs should take more time to gain his support instead of trying to change the rules and exclude him

Articles of Bitcoin Constitution: A Genesis Block of Governance
This is the current system of governance. It has flaws in that it makes it very easy for one member to veto changes. This is one of the criticisms that has been raised by Gavin Andresen in the past; which is that it takes just one dev with ulterior motives to sink an improvement proposal. Given that some of the devs are involved with other companies, it soon becomes clear that this system is inefficient in coming to consensus, assuming everyone may have personal agendas.
