I would partially agree.  The purpose of the candidate Q&A is for
prospective voters to seek out information they desire about candidates,
in order to inform their vote.  So, to the extent people are seeking
further information specifically about the candidates and their
positions, that's fine; to the extent people are looking to discuss
codes of conduct in general, or start a large discussion about what
GNOME should actually do, that should wait until we have the new board.
