Hmm. I think Adam's concern about drift is well founded, but, the risk
seems proportional to how the ratio of the budget for the role to Sugar
Labs' capital base.

If we're talking $10,000/week (which in my own work recently I have found
typical for software development contracting in the USA) then its not a
good idea :) If it is 6-month, $6k contract with $80k in the bank, that
seems pretty harmless to me even if it was a total failure, had no
oversight, and delivered nothing.
