It was a topic during "Governance" discussion at FUDCon Tempe and we
still have not moved forward from that time. People played with number of
appointed seats but before we know how should our governance model
looks like (or even how it looks like now) it's not a primary goal.

Currently it works that FPL appoints one seat before elections and one
after elections - for me it makes sense to balance Board - to avoid
a specific group overtaken the Board (and it's not about RH vs community).

But I'm not against only one appointed seats for each term. But as I
already said - it's just math, the most important question is where
should Board stand == power given to elected/appointed members...

Yep, FPL announces who will be appointed and asks Board and I really 
trust our FPLs they would not push anyone against the will of the
Board.
