'visions' IMHO have to come from the Board (or come from other
Committees/Groups/the community and get then get ACKed by the Board).

And I more and more think we should keep those two things as close
together as possible to avoid interaction problems between different
groups -- e.g. have a strong group at the top (below the Board) that's
interested in day-to-day work and sub-groups that takes care of the
different things. If a problems comes up that is relevant for two group
that strong group can handle.

I fear that otherwise group "a" will say "b, that you problem" while "b"
says "a, no, you have to solve that". Both in such situations often have
good reasons for their standpoint. But it does not help to get problems
solved quickly (read: if often does not get fixed properly or only slow).
