Due to the choice of words, it's a rather extreme scenario, but only
through such controversial decisions (that means a couple of -1 from
board/committee members) the community can learn whether their elected
representatives perform well. The typical series of +1 accompanied with a
bit of Q&A and jokes is not so interesting.

A different albeit similar scenario would be that FESCo members get
brain-washed into nodding through a decision that creates community
uproar. Then, if the FPB community reps sleep or don't have the guts to
intervene, *that* would be interesting input for the voters.

I'm not interested in a "RH vs. community" thing, though, and as such
I see the FPB as a team, not as opponents.
