Web developers shouldn't be in CSD

It makes no strategic sense. It will require duplicative administrative, project staffing (matrix), and work of other general concerns.
It will establish odd, and unnecessary communications channels between these devs and the backend devs, PLUS these devs and other frontend devs.
We've tried this before (the webdev pool), and it didn't work. It resulted in developer-project lock-in, and further distanced these devs from the backend devs.
Isolating (some) frontend devs will hurt developer flexibility.
