I don't see any particular problem with that. The Admins know what they are doing.
So do a lot of others who have put in a lot of time without ever having bothered to become an admin.
Becoming an admin these days is a stupidly big deal. RFA needs an enema in so many ways. Lots of good people don't bother any more - so the process filters for a cross between politicians and semi-humanoid killbots.
Jimbo, this isn't the RFA you remember.
I know that, and agree about the need for change to RFA, but the point remains: our admins are a good bunch, and in some cases (WP:BLP cases in particular), restricting things to admins to make a decision is a good thing. Sure, other people can help, and not all good people become admins, but the admins do a good job.
