I think it should be longer.  For motu-sru, their effort is continuous.  
For motu-release, we are still defining the pre-freeze work that needs to 
be done and so it's no clear when in a cycle this should best be done. 

 I'd suggest we set the term to two years with the idea that most people 
won't actually do it  long.  That way people could be replaced on a rolling 
basis as needed.  Then neither team is likely to have a complete turnover 
and lose corporate memory/ take a while to get organized and block other 
people's work.
