Eh, more like worried about an admin protect war, ... even less desirable.
It is highly unlikely that Slim would re-protect in the event that some other admin unprotected; she's never done it before, nor does it seem to be in her nature. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing an admin protect war; block wars, but not protect wars. It seems to me that my own hypothesis is far more likely.
