On the other hand, we should give more weight to the opinion of people
who have been around for many years and obviously intend to stay than to
the opinion of people who have been here for a few months and will leave
after two or three job missions.

Past involvement, including long-past involvement, is not only past, it
is both indication of knowledge about the project and prediction of
future involvement.

For that reason, I believe that if this plan goes forward, it should
include all past involvement, but possibly with the condition that the
involvement continues presently.

On the other hand, I believe this whole plan is a bad idea.
