I certainly keep hearing a call for a more team oriented approach with our maintainership, and to me it makes sense that the same basic team steward the kernel and user plumbing. So I'm supportive of the idea. I'm less concerned with speed and more with reliablity when Doug is unavailable and to make sure we are developing community and expertise in a wider group of people.. The work load only seems to be increasing, we've hand an unprecedented number of new provider drivers this year. Doug? This is the sort of discussion I think you need to be leading.
