The number of pods is not a useful proxy for work that needs to be done by a steward. If anything pods show the work that is NOT being done by stewards. Since the lead of that pod is doing the heavy lifting.
A clear example is community server sub group. Outside of voicing my support that group has required almost no work from the stewards. The identity server is one of the most impactful things that got started in the first term of the DAO.
What we need is more contributors who are accomplishing things, instead of commenting on how work should be done.
I favor the dissolution of Community WG because it simplifies the work for stewards and thus improves efficiency.
We are here to shepherd folks through DAO processes, provide perspective when asked, and ensure that the budget is spent wisely. We are not here to work in the DAO. We can work on projects if we want, but as contributors.
For example, when a steward such as @AvsA creates a map of all ENS contracts he is working in his capacity as a contributor not a steward.
