There is no upper limit to the number of admins Wikipedia needs - even now with 800 admins there is a backlog on WP:COPYVIO and WP:PROD which needs work. There will always be vandals who could be blocked quicker, nonsense pages (created by the aforementioned vandals) which need deleting. The more admins we have, the quicker these things get done, and therefore the smoother Wikipedia works.
Then would it make sense to relax some of the requirements for future admins, or at least ask voters to consider relaxing them? Is adminship really something that cannot be "learnt on the job"?
