On the "board vs r-t" topic (bad name, I know ;-)): I believe there has
always been 2 or 3 board members in the release team. If board members
of the release team believe something is wrong in the release team, it's
up to them to talk about this issue at a board meeting.

(of course, other people can also ask the board to review the situation)

I don't know how much more oversight you'd like to see ;-)
