Jim, I think you have expressed my concerns perfectly. Mentors care for the podlings. Someone has to care for the mentors. Not all mentors need help, not all podlings need help. We should provide *support* all the way down for when it is needed. We should not confuse interference with support.

 Right now they are on very polar ends of the whole discussion, which suggests neither until the incubator and board choose a path forward. I don't find the formulation 'polar opposites' helpful, let alone prior remarks about whether the two of us can agree about something. It's not up to us
