Everybody who's an administrator knows -- or ought to know -- that any of Danny's actions could be undertaken on behalf of the foundation. To me, this suggests -- in fact, demands -- a lot more caution with undoing his admin actions than otherwise, and at the very least warrants a discreet "what's this about?" before taking action.
I agree, and I think this is really the point to take out of this. We should all operate on the presumption that when Danny does something, he's doing it for a Good Reason, and that one shouldn't undo it unless one has checked the reason behind it with Danny first (that's if it should even be undone at all). A little communication solves alot of problems.
But Danny has explicitly said (on this list) that he is also a normal editor, and only his actions that are accompanied with a statement that they are WP:OFFICE actions should be treated as such. So if he does something and does not tag it WP:OFFICE, we should all operate on the presumption that he is doing it in his capacity as a normal Wikipedian.
