Erik, I reverted that edit of you.

(comment : delisting sam, too contentious and will only provoke extended flamewars)
If you disagree with Sam as a sysop, please just do like everyone else (but you) does : vote against Sam.
Do not delist candidates. Allow free speech :-)

Erik, when you unilaterally unsysop someone, could you please tell the community about it and not only the user in question (and me, thanks for telling) ?
I know not if there is a requirement somewhere, for clarity and respect of information display, mentionning that a developper unsysoping a sysop should tell the community about it, but if there is none, I think there should.
Could you update the policy for me (if it is not in the policy) ?
I am fine with a couple of users taking the responsability of enforcing rules, but I think a developer should not be a position of power, and the minimum a developer should do, would be to tell the community of any unilateral decisions he takes (especially when no one asked him to, and this even if the action is supported by rules).
Being sysop is not really a position of power, but being a developer is. When on top of it, it is the same person who 1. make/decide the rule 2. take the decision of enforcing the rule 3. technically enforce the rule
That is a question of separating some pillars of power, which usually denote a democracy.
Thanks
