As an *EXAMPLE* (I have not spoken to either of the poor saps below), a team similar to that would get several +1's from me:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://metacpan.org/author/FREW" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://metacpan.org/author/FR<wbr>EW</a><br>

If the number "5" is magical in some way, and diluting responsibility further is desirable: destabilize it a bit more, e.g.<br>
<br>

<br>
As a community you seem to want prioritization of stability. Then why aren't you clamoring for a team that *mostly* leans towards stability *naturally*? I do not understand why settle for an illusion of a working group fully controlled by someone who demonstrably optimizes, and went on record intending to continue optimizing for progress for the sake of progress.<br>
