Having fixed terms is an excellent idea. One or two year appointments would be ample, and would not be overly burdensom. A sysop whose term had expired could stand for re-election after (say) 6 months. Mark

I was of course responding to posts suggesting a decrease in numbers would be welcome.

The number of sysops is not something that we
should (or even can)
regulate. It's a quantity that evolves by itself.
I don't know about that. Appointment could be for a limited term, for example; with a need to stand for re-election. The system could probably be tweaked in other ways.
Not that I advocate that. I thought it was better to make a new thread in which to discuss the numerical side.
