There however is, and should be, a requirement that the chair be employed by Red Hat (and have veto power). This is an emergency override, like Rahul said, the plane is crashing and calling 'Mayday!'. Not that I think that it ever has been nor ever will be utilized, it's something that's important to have in the back pocket. As a real world analogy, when I go bicycling, I wear a helmet. I really hope it never will be necessary, but you get piece of mind from knowing that it's there in case you need it.
If I did back far enough into the archives, back when we first announced the Board in April 2006, I remember saying something like "even though I have veto power as the FPL, if I ever have to use it, then it means that there has already been a colossal failure at some earlier point in our processes".
