I'm not particularly advocating this stance, but it is the context I need to operate in (where a single veto can kill a nomination). The argument boils down to there is a communications cost to adding someone to core, and therefore there is a maximum size before the communications burden becomes to great. I will say that I am disappointed that we have cores who don't regularly attend our IRC meetings. That makes the communication much more complicated.
