Given the composition of the current commercial scene, which seems very team
oriented either by business, development or both, I don't think your concerns
are very likely to influence the decision. There should be enough trustworthy
people around. The only requirement that could cause concern in an event like
this one is ICS experience. But not exactly an unsolvable problem IMHO.
