Pine, maybe so, but if that's what you're going for, your best move might
be to privately urge the people who have talked to you to come forward
publicly -- rather than you sharing their words without attribution or
context.
The information that came through from your message is, "Pine asserts that
Wikimedia staff confide in him." That probably wasn't your intent, but I
agree with Keegan's characterization of it as gossip.

Discussing an organization's strengths and
weaknesses, transparently,
should be the norm for how business is done. Keeping quiet about problems
is sometimes necessary, but transparency should be the norm.

I agree that there can be a benefit to internal
promotions in the sense
that less onboarding is required. On the other hand, sometimes a fresh
perspective is helpful, and at least one of the interim Cs has been
insistent that they want to return to their previous job.
Also, while people are in interim roles, their departments are down a
person unless their previous positions are somehow backfilled, perhaps
with
contractors. I have already heard from one
department that they are
feeling
the squeeze.

I'm not really comfortable with gossip here, whether about a Wikimedia
project or the WMF.
