90% is a giant hurdle to get over, even for the best candidates. Perhaps, if the bar needs to be higher than it is for adminship (and I'm not convinced about that, since the questions being posed are different and the votes change accordingly)... Perhaps voting for RfB could be restricted to admins only.
The bar doesn't need to be higher though. What's the reason exactly? If people fear the idea of more bcrats, they can oppose them. Otherwise they'll have to live with the fact people want to help out and will request. And, admin only? Absolutely not.
The issue of whether more bcrats are needed should never be put on the shoulders of individual nominees. Objective criteria for determining the numbers of bureaucrats should be established. These could be based on such things as the size of the project, and a clear definition of when a bureaucrat is inactive. If the quota is exceeded, no nominations should be accepted for anyone at all.
