the historical concern has been that some of our more colorful contributors
would then want a detailed tally of the vote, and would then go after an AD
that seemed to "not like them" (which might be for all sorts of good
reasons like "they have ideas that don't work" or "... and they don't want
to fix them", which are surprisingly common cases) in the nomcom or
otherwise make trouble. The last thing the IESG has historically wanted to
do was recreate itself as a whipping boy.
