Besides, anything that makes more work for our servants isn't a bad thing.
Admins are not servants, they are under-appreciated volunteers.
Like government, administrators on Wikipedia are at best a necessary evil, and at worst a threat to everything important. They must be kept under strict control: a close watch and a short leash at all times.
They are volunteers, yes: they volunteer to be our servants. They should not act on their own initiative, but merely implement the will of the community.
The more unpleasant and difficult we can make their task, the fewer eminently unsuited volunteers we'll have to sift through. We should make it so that only those completely and genuinely interested in being the servants of the community at large will want to bother with it.
Then you will not find too many.
