My feeling is somehow different. I'd really love to have a clear
separation between the group that makes long-term transverse decisions and
the group responsible for driving a particular release (with perhaps given
Fedora's short lifecycle & usual manager burnout different groups for
different releases).

That's the only way you'll get clear release focus
