Does that mean we should have the same process for "delisting" admins - not really fair that candidates today are held to a higher standard than candidates who got through three years ago!
Actually it is "fair", in a warped way. RfA is supposed to be purely a risk management exercise: we subject prospective admins to a couple of tests to reduce our risk that they go feral. The chance of a 3 year old admin going feral is much much lower than the average prospective admin, sort of by definition.
(So I don't see a benefit of desysopping/retesting, just on that basis.)
