I almost put Roger on my initial list but wanted to see what others thought.

If Karpeles counts, i think Ver counts. I would lean toward removing both. Just as Benedict Arnold isn't a founding father. Some of the others on the list are shotcoiners but i would keep them. Only full betrayal should get someone removed, i think.
EDIT: More names:
Eric Hughes
Jameson Lopp
Len Sassaman
