It sounds like all that is really needed is to make clear that, as a
developer body, we don't see anything wrong or unhealthy in an election
cycle where the incumbent is running unopposed. As it is, sometimes
a developer self-nominates "because it would be a shame if there were
only 1 candidate". If the sitting DPL is willing to go another year,
and nobody else stands for election, I don't think we should see it as
a sign of an unhealthy project, or try to correct it.
