However, the current really-long-term members fail to exhibit any lack of
involvement. Which more than makes up for that, statistically speaking.

One other idea comes to mind: do we want to have rigid per-member term
limits, or do we allow members to swap? Thus if, let's say (hypothetically
of course), Bdale's term limit comes up; he'd like to stay on the TC; at the
same time, Keith needs to step down due to other looming responsibilities
 -- do we dismiss both of them, or do we value continuity and only elect
one new TC member (along with any others whose term ends at that time,
of course)?
