No, Erik did this on his own. I support it in a limited sense, i.e. I give my moral support to Erik's good will and legitimate concerns, but don't want it to set a precedent and do think that it's a good case for us to discuss the limits on sysop powers. I won't be criticizing Erik for it.
I think it's actually a very interesting thing that, so far, the consensus *of existing sysops* seems to be running against expanded sysop powers. So at least we're not power hungry maniacs. Oh, except for me, of course. ;-)
