Annual 're-affirmation' would be a nightmare on WP - there's, what, 400+ admins? That means we'd need to do _more_ than one of these _every day_.
This - all of this discussion in fact - still looks like a solution hunting *desperately* for a problem.

Only that your certainty in the previous mail that it would be " a terrible, terrible idea, Anthere" is just a tiny bit shaken by the fact already two projects as I know of, chose this way of reconfirmation of sysophood (annually I think, not certain though). I do not list meta within these two, as indeed it is a bit special project, with less chance of edit wars (though there are some).
But the point is, some communities on other wikipedia projects chose this path voluntarily. There is no real reason why a community would be entirely right to go one way and another entirely wrong to go another, and vice-versa. I do not know which is the best way and I doubt I could find out alone. But this path was already chosen voluntarily by *consensus*. So, it can't be entirely a terrible idea :-).
