The reasoning for the lack of separation is because of last weeks proposal to completely unwind working groups plus the lack of nomination window for the upcoming elections.
My fear is; this proposal doesn’t pass, I repost the proposal without the steward election section, all voters that took issue with the inclusion of the steward extension then vote yes, we now kickoff a retro while trying to run steward elections, while trying to understand the role of previous stewards and new stewards in the retro process. A majority of stewards have signalled willingness to extend their term and engage in the retro.
