Personally, I'd rather see the current FESCo and Core cabal merged into a single entity that shares both responsibilities. The Packaging Committee would certainly still exist to come up with the packaging guidelines, so that wouldn't change. And you immediately get community involvement in the content of the release isos, which is what I think Jessie meant by "hopefully there will be more than just me". Just my $0.02.
Keep in mind that it's just adding more people to a committee who may not care about other things such as sponsorship stuff, policy related to packages, various other stuff that FESCO current has to vote on. Its adding more people, making quorum harder to reach, especially when they might not have any interest/knowledge of whats being voted on.
I said their responsibilities should be merged. I didn't say they should necessarily be merged in in their current states.
Actually, re-reading my own email I really did say "the current FESCo and Core cabal..". I meant the responsibilities though, not necessarily the actual committees themselves. Sorry for the confusion.
