Nevertheless, the pertinent issue is whether it is against policy to edit through open proxies.
I think the most pressing issue is not the policy thing, but that someone who wanted adminship was very keen to ensure that no one, not even the Foundation, could find out anything about them. Not even the location s/he edits from, or the ISP.
Perhaps we should focus on that question: do we want any kind of minimum accountability from admins, or do we not care who they are, or that one person might easily be controlling multiple admin accounts?
Accountability is definitely an issue, but once accountability requires identity, it really requires identity. IP addresses aren't identity; they are, however, a useful expedient for blocking, which seems to be the real intent here anyway.
