I'm clearly not particularly good at posing trick question to the candidates; aj was much better than me at that! ;-) That said, given you already unraveled part of the arguments I was interested in seen discussed (and still am!, especially by the candidates), let me try to enlarge the scope. Due to time and travel demands, there are blockers in being DPLs. Most of them are work related. Within that category of blockers, some could be solved by a salary but many (according to your judgement) could not. If we agree on this, it means that we are losing many potential good DPL candidates due to those blockers. The broader question is than: what can we do to loose those blockers and profit more from the abilities that we do have in our community? Maybe the answer is "nothing"; it's just the way it is, and we should accept a "deficit" on that front wrt other communities. But maybe there is something else we could do... what?
