Even if we stipulate that this would ever happen (which seems exceedingly unlikely), presumably that majority would change the policy to allow themselves to sponsor PEPs. (In my opinion if there's even a single steering council member who isn't a core developer, they'd probably be able to convince the rest of the council to add a special exception allowing them to sponsor PEPs; I find it hard to imagine someone being trusted enough to sit on the council without the rest of the council thinking they can be trusted to sponsor a PEP...)
