I'm a little disappointed at how quickly some of the candidates
have withdrawn. Does anyone else feel similarly?
Yeah. I was especially disappointed at Majorly's reason - "oppose
votes just hurt" (or something like that). Shows no intention to take
constructive criticism on board and learn from it. Withdrawing so soon
suggests the candidates weren't very serious about wanting the job.

I think after I read everything at the linked pages, I disagree.
Because this is all pure volunteerism, I would that candidates can and
should withdraw, without being prejudiced by the withdrawal. We can
not, I believe, think to know the mind of these candidates, and shame on
us if we hold a withdrawal against the candidates in the future. This
would be a mistake. There are *MANY* reasons a withdrawal would occur
and a good many of them do not include "candidate not very serious".
You garner that from editing history, not one event, such as a withdrawal.
