One of the problems with having a task performed well in its early stages is 
that we tend to model this as projecting forward forever.

Waiting for someone to burn out is not a great management policy. The model also 
makes it more difficult if there is a problem with the person doing the job.

Having standardized periods for doing a task makes it easier for everyone to do 
planning, such as for the designated person to get approval from their 
management, and makes it more comfortable to replacement them if their is a problem.

In addition, the rather nice view that this activity can help as a 
stepping-stone for training new folk to take on IETF management positions 
encourage regular turnover.
