The most prevalent things that I see in Council meeting logs, is fixing problems that some parts of Council (or Council as a whole) created. Kinda reminds me of body bravely fighting problems, that doesn't exist in other bodies.

I agree that we need people doing "housekeeping tasks", but I don't think that we need elected mandate for housekeeping. It could "just work" as volunteers task forces - additional benefit is that, without mandate of being elected, none of the volunteer will ever get an idea of having mandate to "rule" maemo, as we have seen with some aspects of Council in the past.
