I don't see any particular problem with that. The Admins know what they are doing.
I don't distrust the admins either, but that's not the point. When it comes to influences in discussions, admins have no special position. Their opinions doesn't count extra in an AfD or RfA for instance. They get to judge consensus in a way that normal people can't (i.e. closing AfDs) and they get to manage the community and the encyclopedia (blocking/protecting) but they don't get any extra authority to make editorial decisions of any kind.
I've been a user for almost three years but not an admin, should my opinion not count for anything in this particular discussion?
