On balance, I think this is right.   Also, I have seen some ADs that I 
thought served too long, but I don't see a correlation between the 
quality of past ADs and either the length of their terms or the number 
of "gap years".

If we think we need more churn in ADs, the solution is some combination 
of finding/grooming more good candidates and making it easier for people 
to serve, so that the nomcom has better candidates to choose from.   I'm 
pretty sure the solution is NOT to paint the nomcom into a corner - they 
have plenty of constraints already.
