You could always give rollback, delete, undelete, protect and unprotect powers to everyone, at least everyone with more than X edits.
Of course that would require banning users that abuse that power, which I suppose is the real problem with adminship too: no one is stepping up and removing the powers when they are abused.
The whole theory that adminship "should be no big deal" is based on the fact that admins have no authority and that adminship can be taken away. The arb committee is what's really broken. Actually, I'd say the arb committee never worked all that well in the first place.

A voice of reason! The problem isn't people being voted in w too few votes, its the very idea of a popularity contest determining our police force. And thats what admins are, they ARE NOT JANITORS. That has got to be one of the stupidest wiki-concepts I have come across.
The #1 admin job is dispute resolution, like it or not, and good dispute resolution is not indicated by the % of interested voters who happen to be a part of ones clique, faction, or cabal ;)
RfA needs a compete overhaul, and a 30 vote minimum is NOT the answer. Jimbo told me that RfA is working great, perhaps we'd better clue him in?
