Re: Nomcom candidate name announcement alternatives

But--there's nothing stopping people from doing that today, given
how many people receive requests for feedback, and how poorly the
list of people is hidden. I think we ended up asking for feedback
from more than 50 or 60 people on each candidate in this cycle,
and it wasn't enough to stop questions from a lot of quarters
about not enough feedback.

Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. What
about 50?
