The answer is simple. Since RfAr is considered a major roadblock to removing adminship, make it easier to do. Then, people who you may have trust issues with can be more easily promoted, because they can easily be removed. I'm much more likely to vote support on a candidate with a long history, but some questions about, if I know that if they abuse the tools or continually do the wrong thing, I can work to get them removed. That's not the case currently.
In practice I don't think this is such a problem. I can think of a couple of people who are now admins who I had pretty much this qualm over, but who both shaped up fine after a slightly rocky start.
Maybe a probation period is needed.
And deadminning is a much bigger deal than adminning by its nature.
That alone is a problem. The hoops that one must jump through to become an admin establish it as a big deal, even when we say it isn't.
