I had thought this at one point, but they actually don't amount to the same thing. An abstain vote counts for quorum but it doesn't count against the majority. As long as quorum is met a proposal could pass with one yes vote, and all the rest abstains, but it could not pass with one yes vote and all the rest no votes.
Should a single "yes" vote really be enough to make someone a "trusted" user? I understand the logic of the system but I think I would have opted for a system based on a threshold of confidence. Of course, you could argue that having the confidence of a single TU is enough. Again, I'm not trying to change the system. I'm just discussing this for the sake of the discussion.
