Ironically, having fewer working groups would mean having fewer working group
chairs, which would mean a smaller pool of people from which to pick ADs.
A reason we need more slots in the WG page for names (such as secretary,
key document author, issue triage expert, minutes tzar, etc.) is so that
a) people can be recognized
b) and the "re" (again) part of recognized means that they can be found
again and their expertize leveraged.
