My first response is that's probably a reflection of the voting system. When you have a non-partisan system like this, there are no clear political pro/con reasons to vote for/against particular candidates and the anti-incumbency factor doesn't really work. Candidates are likely to be successful if they're well known, and that will give an advantage to more established editors. However, you might be over-stating this conclusion. All three retiring candidates stood again and only two were re-elected - Domas Mituzas lost out to sj.
I'll have to agree, and also point out that it's a bit silly classing Ting as "old guard". Yes, he's a returning member of the board, but considering he was only elected last year, it's not so surprising he did well again this year.
