I agree. ScottGu both has the technical chops and the ability to ask hard questions. I had the opportunity to work directly with him (and his many-managers-ago lead, Mark) and have nothing but respect for him. A return to the CSA role could be just what the company needs. "Back in the day," BillG reviews meant something. Your product could be completely shelved, and even though you could argue it was a huge waste of time for the team, it forced much harder thinking about every area of your product because you just never knew what he was going to ask about and expect you to have in-depth, well-researched answers about. I always thought Ray was too nice and too high-level-vision of a guy to be in the role he was titled with. There's a reason you don't make the nicest guy in the platoon the next drill sergeant, no matter how well they do on the procedural tests and describing the goals of the next version of your military.
