This would not be adapted for discussions with a wide and dynamic range of !voting options such as XfDs (keep, merge, userfy, delete, incubate, redirect, comment, keep and rename, delete and salt, etc), where furthermore users often switch positions, making neat separations undesirable. Even in discussions with clear, stable and desirable separations (support/oppose/neutral for example, as in RFA - indeed perhaps the most stable and delineated process on en.wp, but its uniqueness makes of it a poor case study - and it's considered broken by most commentators so this is telling), many users make a point to qualify their !vote, such as weak oppose, provisional support, etc. There may also be resistance to changes that would seem to emphasize the numerical aspects.
