I hope this is not the case. I hope mentors impartially explain the
benefits and drawbacks of each approach and then let the PPMC make up their
mind. If a mentor is pushing their own preferred route then they are not
doing their job as a mentor in my opinion (an exception being made where a
mentor is also active on the project and thus has the equivalent of a
"binding vote" on the PPMC).
