You're right, it's definitely not my call; but I feel that I owe it to my team (and future team) to make the case to the CEO to do something more than just "oh, find him a desk in the basement".
Imagine how I talk to prospective hires: "yes, he's the engineering co-founder -- but we just let him do QA work while the rest of us call the shots". In the valley there's some expectation that the co-founders are, well, in charge, and keeping someone around like that in a limited capacity seems.. unusual.
