Do you know exactly how many admins that would encompass?
Not many, as far as I can see. Or do you mean blindly follow process, instead of canonical policy? ;-)
Lighten up, Jeff.
List, be it noted that I personally consider the failure to sysop Jeff as a prime example of the RFA system being broken. Not one person was able to advance a credible reason why we should worry that Jeff would abuse the tools. Chances of unwarranted deletions and blocks: roughly zero. Chances of wheel warring? Low, and if he does we desysop him. Jeff is not stupid. Jeff also participates in deletion reviews and it would be of great assistance if he could see deleted history. He'd also be likely to Wikignome, removing personal info from histories and stuff. So what if he's the most inclusionist inclusionist on the project? If we allow republicans to be sysops we should allow inclusionists :-)
Others who should have been promoted but were not for ridiculous reasons include Stephen B Streater and Georgewilliamherbert.
/me gets off soapbox.
