It would be bizarre for the chapters to select any incumbent board
member - these are the people who voted unanimously twice for the
image filter, the second time in the face of the first time nearly
causing a project fork. WM-DE in fact passed a resolution against an
image filter. The chapters would be negligent in their duty if they
were to ignore candidates' positions on such movement-splitting
issues.
