Frankly, I think that a healthy number of desysoppings is a good sign. First off, adminship is supposed to be *no big deal*, remember? Secondly, it means that the community makes it clear when people aren't meeting expected standards. Finally, the former admins who have voluntarily relinquished the bit are to be applauded; they have demonstrated a high level of self-awareness and respect for the project.
In the real world, organizations plan for a 10-12% turnover of management staff every year; Wikipedia is well below that level.

Okay, there were a total of *79* de-sysoppings this year. I understand three were because of compromising, and several were voluntary, but this is pitiful, and *we can do better*. If people on here want to be danged drama queens, they should just take it to email with the users involved. This, again, is pitiful. We've got to stop acting like this and BUILD THE ENCYCLOPEDIA. Thank you.
