It would be nice if the 'lab manager' also functioned as an explicit
'advocate' who works on behalf of all of the projects. The advocate's
job would be to raise issues in the base FreeBSD system that need
to be addressed for the projects to advance. This person should be
no stranger to -hackers and the core group.

For example, if ELF is required for projects X and Y, then the
advocate could present arguments to the mailing lists that help
motivate and accelerate the movement towards ELF, etc..

If necessity is the mother of invention, the advocate would be there
to help make the necessity known, prompt discussion, and get the issues
to be understood.
