Actually, I don't recall hearing or suggesting the admin buddy idea before. It has the advantages of being easy to organize, easy to maintain, fits into existing work habits, and encourages the development of more long-term relationships. Many admins already tag-team on stressful issues, it just tends to be ephemeral, and so an admin gets sufficient support one month and then the next month is unnoticed until the spectacular flameout.
I don't have a problem with the idea of "admin buddies"; although in some cases it may be the blind leading the blind, or the deaf leading the blind (each having their own set of challenges).
The biggest problem with the deaf leading the blind is that the deaf don't listen very well. ;-)
