That's a good idea, where it's possible. Have you suggested this to
David and Andrew? I know there are a lot of discussions about the
succession within the mm subsystem, and since it's (from an outsider's
perspective), it's a large and very healthy community, my personal
preference would be to let the mm subsystem work through this
succession, and then we can take learnings a year or so after the
succession is complete.
Cheers,
