MBisanz says my proposal to have all open seats wouldn't be fair to the arbitrators with long terms. But doesn't the ArbCom itself reject the notion of fairness? Haven't they said that they consider not what is fair, but what is best for the encyclopedia?
Fairness is a privilege which must be earned.
Maybe the arbitrators have earned the right to fair treatment, but the community and its individual editors have not.
