All the more reason that it's distasteful for him to get involve in wheel-warring. These sorts of petty power-fights, combined with his flaming of several users on the mailing list as "unqualified" to edit Wikipedia, reduce my confidence in his ability to lead Wikipedia.
Jimbo is one of the few clear voices of sanity that prevails on this crazy project. Writing articles is not the only way that people can contribute to Wikipedia, and Jimbo has done much in the media to highlight just how good we are for what could have been so chaotic. And I don't recall him *ever* flaming people on this mailing list; but that hasn't stopped people from attacking *him*, and to be honest, he deserves better.

His recent record is not the most impressive. People are going to complain about this.
