I asked Jamesday to remove Ed developer flag.
Explanation of the reason why is here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Inciden...
Sorry Oncle. I love you, but you are not a steward so you should not desysop people. Only for urgent action would be okay for a developer to do so. I do not think Wikipedia was in danger.
Speaking as an arbiter (but only for myself -- not the Committee) I agree with Anthere. Ed is a valued contributor, both for his edits and sometimes but not always ;-> for his peace-making activities. However, he does not need the ability to desysop people.
