You're right. Normally it's the ones that have gotten a good idea of what they can get away with. Or who let the resentment build up.

Max was an unusual exception in a lot of ways. Normally he would have been unpaired. But he was immediately paired permanently with Sheehan. Either way, since he came in on a Breach and went on a spree because of the ending confusion, I wonder about the timing of this proposal.

There are ways to improve the unpaired wardens, both in letting people know they're present and in how they choose to handle their obligations. But that's not what this seems to be about.
