Well, we have had recent DPLs who have worked in reimplementing
socio-technical interpretations in many ways. I do not think a DPL should
worry in being competent enough _across all technical expressions of our
project_ (that would be humanly impossible!), but I am sure a DPL, no
matter their background, will push either for socio-technical inertia in
areas they see fit, or changes in areas they see as problematic...
