I think that’s kind of insulting to those of us who don’t work at the WMF. Just because
they hire the “best and the brightest” does not mean there are not people out there who
are just as intelligent, if not more, but do not or cannot work for the WMF for whatever
reason. Restricting Archcom to WMF employees is just about the stupidest thing you could
do for an open source software project. It defeats the entire purpose of MediaWiki being
open-source.

I dont know if this is practical. As Chad noted earlier, WMF hires the best
and the brightest. Even if the entire arch comitte was hit by a bus, the
people who i think would logically be next in line are still employed by
wmf. Even if those people got hit by a bus, i still think their logical
replacements would largely be wmf employees.
