Yes, but the reason we make it quite difficult to
desysop someone is
because it's rarely necessary, since we are so careful not to promote
anyone questionable. If we relax promotions, we would need to relax
demotions too. And if we relax demotions, we would be able to relax
promotions. It's rather circular, but the end result is that we have
to do both at the same time for it to work.
What criteria for deadminning are you thinking of? "Unpopular for
deleting 1000 fair-abuse images" or something that'll be usable for
that shouldn't be amongst them, for instance.
