I fully agree. Let’s run the current agreed (and long under way!!) process to its conclusion. There will be plenty of time afterwards to conduct a post mortem, take account of the after-the-fact issues that are being raised now, apply lessons learned, etc so that the process is better for the next time. FWIW it will look awful if that process gets derailed now because of concerns that weren’t raised during the long community discussion as the appointment process was developed. Its sets a very ugly and dangerous precedent too.
