Elections in which it was difficult to find enough people willing to
put in the time and deal with crap like this to fill a full slate of
candidates for the available seats.   (The initial deadline was extended
when there were only two candidates for 4 seats.)

I don't see the X.Org board trying to stage a coup and take over freedesktop.org
though, no matter who gets elected.   There's a separate organization for that,
and we don't have the legal right to take their property away no matter what we
think about how they're managing it.
