Ah, I see. Yeah then it was just a misunderstanding. I completely agree with you on that point. I would be fine with an entirely-WMF ArchCom as long as being in the WMF was not one of the criteria they were selected because of.

I apologize, i didnt mean to imply non wmf employees are any less bright than wmf employees.
What i more meant to say (which i didnt express very well) is that the arch comitte (essentially bdfl by comittee in my understanding. Not just about architecture but also "vision" for mediawiki) should be composed of leaders of the community who have been in the mediawiki community a long time, and have fairly universal respect due to demonstrating "wisdom" over the long term.
