I know a de-admining process is proposed practically every other day, but this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EVula/opining/RfA_overhauldoesn't appear to have had much discussion. What do you think about it? Personally I think it's a good idea, the only draw back being new accounts abusing it.
If the numbers really matter so much, the simplest and fairest approach would be to a reconfirmation poll, where anyone can raise concerns but "voting" is limited to those who participated previously in the user's successful RFA. Sure there may still be sockpuppets or meatpuppets, etc. for or against the user in the reconfirmation shin-dig, but only if they were already present during the first RFA. If we are only looking at the net change in approval rating within the same audience, they would not likely have a pivotal impact.
