Yes, although worst is a matter of definition. If the developer

give it to them. This is, after all, a community distribution so we 
should do what the community wants.

The majority of developers should choose what kind of leadership they 
want, instead of us deciding for them.

Anyone can contribute views and ideas ... why do you need to be on the 
council to do that? Most of the issues are discussed on -dev, and I've 
pushed to make that a requirement and meetings as primarily just votes.
