I'd prefer to keep Manwe for the time being. Although his judgment may be off sometimes, he provides firm leadership, which is extremely useful in these situations. Melkor is already sowing the seeds of discontent. Without Manwe to keep the other Valar in line, the whole camp could descend into chaos. Interesting viewing perhaps, but not very condusive to task completion. And you never know when those Eagles may come in handy.

No. We want to kick Ingwe off because, while he may be loyal and good and worthy and all that, he makes dreadfully dull viewing. I mean, name one thing of note that he ever did that did not involve going with the status quo and staying put (like a pudding, as
Lal put it.
).
Feanor, on the other hand, makes compelling viewing, whatever you may think of him personally.
That said, I am not averse to the idea of booting out one of the many Noldorin Elves. My inclination would be to go for Amrod or Amras - who are, let's face it, pretty interchangeable.
