Any attempt to undo will be decried as an attempt to hide something, move things into smoky back rooms, &c. That will be especially true if it turns out that companies who want to put resources into "getting people on the IESG" (or whatever) are successful: they'll be able to use the same resources to oppose changes that will undo that advantage. This isn't to say it's a bad idea (I haven't formed an opinion), but I do think the move towards publicising these candidacies is a one-way door.
