And if they do it's likely because they still value their opinions on the matters the RSB is likely to encounter. The RSB will, hopefully, not need to be invoked. Since this is more about the "direction" of the project than anything else if they are invoked, it's more a matter of people that the developers trust to make fair decisions, even when they may not entirely match their own personal desires. I mean, what sort of activity is "better" anyway? Someone who's been around a lot recently, and committed a lot of popular changes that have touched a lot of code in controversial (but not necessarily "bad") ways, or somebody who's committed many good changes in the past, but doesn't participate directly in development any more, but essentially helped to found the project? Basically, as long as we still trust someone with direct access to the code, why should there be any question as to whether we also trust them to vote on who gets to make the final arbitration when arguments break out about what to do with that code?
