I am against watering down the role of the mentors.  What this proposal =
is basically results in is doing away multiple mentors for a podling and =
whittling it down to one mentor whose name is now champion.  Clearly not =
the way to go.

Let's ask ourselves, if each podling had two active mentors, what =
problems would be left for the Incubator?  Not a whole heck of a lot.

Alan
