I would almost argue for "run for a shorter term, can't run again
until you've had a year off", but I'm not sure I would want to
legislate specific time limits for anyone who has the energy and
bandwidth and really grooves on the job.
I wonder how the community would react if an Arbitrator said, I want
to take a 6 month break but not give up my seat entirely; and would
Jimbo appoint a replacement for that 6 month period.
