Please enlighten me as to why it is good for adminship to be a big-deal artificially scarce commodity.
I'm not aware of discussion (recent, anyway) of what would be an ideal number of admins. What are the criteria for that? One per 1000 articles as a rule of thumb?
As I said, it'd be nice if most editors could get it without ever-increasing requirements on RFA. Should there be a requirement beyond "will not go batshit with the tools"?
(Now, that's an interesting question: how voting pages of this sort get ever-increasing requirements, and what to do about it. FAC is another.)
