AFAIK, the board is not tasked with any project _steering_ whatsoever.

Absolutely.

I submit that none of our developers (I hesitantly include myself here)
are in a position to build the entire distro by themselves. 

Furthermore, my reasoning wrt a steering committee is that we (the
project) might want to intervene if or when the developer(s) neglect to
consider what the user(s) want. See e.g. the gcc/egcs story I have
referred to in another posting.
