I see people talking about this as though there's some inherent benefit to destroying the information of the pool's existence

The benefit is that I never have to hear anyone bitch about its contents again, and I consider that to be quite a significant benefit.

Hell, if I thought that appointing guardians for this pool (lifeguards?) was going to quell the bitching, I'd swallow my tongue despite the fact that I find the idea silly. But I don't think it's even going to manage that: after the initial spike in bitching that will happen when members realize the pool is under new management, it will settle back into a level of bitching no lower than the current level. Possibly even higher, given how much easier it will be to make ad hom attacks on the new managers.
