The mere fact that administrators can decide for themselves is what bothers me
I think that's a very good thing. If we work by consensus, then the first thing we have to acknowledge is that there is no consensual definition of consensus, although there is general satisfaction that Wikipedia usually makes decisions that everybody can live with. The latter is termed "rough consensus" and, as an expression of the reasonableness and tolerance of Wikpiedians, is what keeps Wikipedia from breaking.
