Does anyone know about the specific religious leanings of Elders Gerrit Gong and Ulisses Soares? Will they be more like Dieter Uchtdorf or Bruce McConkie?

I'm guessing Gong will be like DFU. He has a legit fan base on exmo reddit. Here is one of the links: https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comme ... ecause_of/

Don't know about Soares.

I'm a little surprised that they went a little outside the mold. Not Utahn. Not married to everyone else. Not big pioneer ancestry. Some different ethnic ancestry. Or even from a different country.

Overall, though, I don't think it makes much difference. Still men. Check. Still older. Check. Still a long history in the institutional Church. Check. Still junior members. Check. Nelson is still in charge, along with his buddy Oaks. Check. And other dogmatic, institutional men in seniority above them. Check.

Congratulations to the church for finally making it into... The 1960's?
