I think that having someone I more or less trust as DPL, even if he has
not enough time to do all that he wants to do, is better than the
confusion when no-one candidates. Also, I fear a bit that if noone
candidates, someone I wouldn't like as DPL [1] might throw their hat in
the ring 5 minutes before the nomination period ends, ending up as the
only choice next to NOTA on the ballot.
