Do you have a problem with him? I'd support his nomination and I don't see any current candidate that I'd feel more comfortable with out of the box. However, I have the impression that Eli is more comfortable setting accents than directions, allowing him to voice opinions stronger than if were he responsible for setting the overall direction and atmosphere. I'd still trust him to work on balancing his and the project needs but am not sure how happy he'd be with it. -- David Kastrup
