Congratz indeed to the (re)elected, and thank you Domas for all your 
work, both within and outwith the Board.

When you have a non-partisan system like this, there are no clear political pro/con reasons to vote for/against particular candidates and the anti-incumbency factor doesn't really work. Candidates are likely to be successful if they're well known, and that will give an advantage to more established editors.

I'll have to agree, and also point out that it's a bit silly classing 
Ting as "old guard". Yes, he's a returning member of the board, but 
considering he was only elected last year, it's not so surprising he did 
well again this year.
