If someone changes company so there are too many people from that company
then all of them are simultaneously terminated. Surely you need to terminate
only the minimal number ?

Where does this leave folks who are doing Gnome work for multiple other
members of the board. If hypothetically a board member company was doing
contracts for sun and hp, it would be very hard for them to get on the
board even if they were doing massive amounts of work of their own..
