Indeed. There will be very technically astute people involved in the
IETF who don't want to serve as AD for any number of reasons (have other
life-consuming things to do; don't want to deal with the "politics",
etc.).
And I haven't seen sufficient attention paid in this thread to the
difference between breadth vs. depth in both knowledge and skill.
I would expect that the folks writing the specs would have the most
depth with respect to their particular technology while AD's and other
generalist reviewers would likely have more breadth and better insight
about the interaction between that technology and the rest of the
universe.
