I think Ryan makes good points, but I think the real problem is that becoming an admin is too difficult in the first place. Whether it's making 5000 edits on EN or 500 edits on the commons, these are unnecessary requirements. Adminship should be granted to anyone who can be trusted not to screw things up, and the number of edits has no direct relevance on that point.
I got adminship with 3 months and 1070 edits (at the start) on english. I finished the rfa with around 1158. That really isn't as much as alot of people would lead you to believe. And yes, I did have several opposers for the edit count, and one or two ones that i feel had a good reason, not that I agreed with any of them, of course!
