Sometimes, a confirming body could cite an alternative candidate, by way
of trying to highlight some distinctions, concerns, or the like about a
current candidate.  In a perfect world, that style of communication
would be fine.

However it really is too easy for the CB to decide that it knows of a
better candidate and, essentially, to try to preempt the nomcom. This is
of course done with the best of intentions, but it serves to negate the
long and complicated process that a nomcom goes through.

So we have one of those rare occasions in which Harald and I agree on
something:  this is a yeah for the proposed change.
