Starting from this discussion on IRC[1], I think we do still need enough
people to cover when others are not available. Otherwise, sure, it
could all be done with a minimally sized leadership.
However, I don't think we can so easily change these details at this
point. The reason we have a review of these details/policies *after*
the election is to be fair and equitable:
* The three seats up for (re)election would reduce get reduced to "one",
which is not encouraging for potential nominees.
* Electing three people now is for a twelve month term, but after the
elections the new FDSCo could vote to shorten that term to six months
and hold elections for a new, smaller body in May.
* Mainly, we said we would follow this pattern and switching this late
is not a good time to switch; wisely, the previous FDSCo created the
trigger to discuss changes to the policy for *after* this election, just
to avoid (the appearance of) election improprieties.
Thus, I think the entire policy is up for discussion after the election,
including how long all active seats are held, etc.

Fair play, just something we need to keep in mind later on.
Carry on,
