Yes, I think this year is less coherent than usual.

I realize that in this comment thread I am using "core" to mean ~75 people who all come to concom meetings, and in a previous comment thread I was using it to mean what this year is ~15 people who (mostly) all report to Crystal. Neither term is particularly crisp.
