I'm not particularly advocating this stance, but it is the context I
need to operate in (where a single veto can kill a nomination). The
argument boils down to there is a communications cost to adding
someone to core, and therefore there is a maximum size before the
communications burden becomes to great.

I will say that I am disappointed that we have cores who don't
regularly attend our IRC meetings. That makes the communication much
more complicated.
