I have also thought that if a church has "too many elders" (if that's another excuse for the rotation practice), that perhaps a new church should be planted with some of the elders going there. I think there may be a tendency to be too attached to a particular church, especially if it is a "big steeple", prestigious type of church that has a popular pastor.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
