Hi,
I think term limits may not be the panacea that people think
they are.
1) Unlike general elections, incumbents do not have more money to
spend than challengers
2) Unlike general elections, incumbents do not get more into the
constituents eye (any body can mail on the lists any time)
3) I hope we are less lackadaisical than the genral case and do not
continue electing incumbents from sheer sloth
4) Term limits may also force us to loose valuable talent, even if
they are the best fit for the job at hand
5) Term limits have litte technical merit; they are merely political
devices. I think that the election to any post in Debian should be
based on merit.
What problems are term limits supposed to solve, exactly?
