Ermm, one of the tenets of Agile is that all members of the team are interchangeable (i.e. anyone can take anything from the backlog).

"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" ...people are more important than any process ..and considering them "resources" is not valuing people enough. What i said has nothing to do with team roles
You'll find once you start referring to PMs as "Powerpoint resources" they stop :-)
But they are not to be taken away from the team during a sprint! There is absolutely no recommendation to change the teams between sprints for the sake of changing either.

The interchangeable part (although I have never heard it called that) is more that knowledge should be spread, so you don't end up with domain experts that end up "owning" part of the code.
