It took me longer than most to agree to this viewpoint, but I do now. Yes, it's a good idea to have an architectural board, but why should it be less than the committers as a whole? That's my understanding of why we have -core: let the committers fight it out, and as long as they finally come to a conclusion about the colour of the bikeshed, there is no need for -core to be involved. I think that -committers are, on the whole, sensible enough to recognize who the leader are in a specific area.
