That was exactely my thought when I was building my candidates list this
morning (BTW, I should put 11 names on my list, that's it ?) - I voluntarily left some
great hackers, because I know their time will be better spent coding and taking
architectural decisions for Gnome than doing PR and advertising.

But the point is: GF should *not* take architectural decisions, otherwise
hackers should be part of GF.
