It seems to me that the Arbitration Committee has come a long way from it's original intent as an appeals vehicle. In short, admins would make a ruling affecting some user's rights, and the Arbcom would review the action to see if that user's rights had been improperly violated.
I think you misread the Arbcom's original intent, which was as a scalable Jimbo. At that point, people pretty much couldn't get banned except by Jimbo edict. Admins banning indefinitely was not supported.
