I think that is pretty much inevitable at some point. Probably after Paul Mooney's turn.
However if the UPC keeps term limits on the GS position they really can't expect these pastors of large churches to give their churches up completely for just a few years gig.
Unless of course these guys wait until when they would leave the GS position they would be at the age they would want to retire anyway.
Another option would be to allo them to remain as Sr. Pastor or Pastor Emeritus of their churches with a "right of return" when their service as GM would be over.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
