No, I still have this concern.  If the community  wanted to, for example, oust GNOME from being the default desktop environment for something else, who from the Desktop WG would support that when everyone in the WG, and most likely the representative on this council, would be a GNOME person.  I'm concerned with stagnation and this proposed group being more of a maintainer of status quo instead of branching out to try new things.
