Yeah, I don't think it really has to be mandatory, but it certainly should be allowed and encouraged.

In the case where people were objecting to being re-shuffled, did they get to pick where they went? Or were they just told? a little agency can help a lot.

In the first year we just told people, which was obviously very stupid in hindsight.

In the second year, we had a survey where devs could say what their preference was: (a) team/specific devs (b) topic (c) none

That worked pretty well.
