While they may be good for carting heavenly bodies and the like around the skies, they are not much use when it comes to the precision stuff, like aerial reconaissance, rescue missions and personnel/cargo transport.

Problem is, we'll have to wait a long time while he works his way through the wingless prototypes. Then again, Balrogs have wings, don't they? Perhaps we could rely on them ...

But no, I think Manwe should stay for now. Later, if and when Thorondor joins the show and another potential leader has emerged, I will not be averse to the idea of booting him out.

As for Melkor, I am not sure about him being appointed leader. I don't know, but there's just something about that guy that I don't trust.
