The ArbCom claims to derive it's authority from Jimbo's authority, so such a "route of appeal" remains necessary until ArbCom gets some new mandate. Presumably, we could (as a community) seperately empower ArbCom (or a similar body), but it's unclear how we can remove Jimbo's vestigial authority apart from asking nicely.

Can someone find this, so it can be removed? Thanks Will Johnson

I think we should try and limit the policy that gets created to things that are absolutely required. See [[WP:CREEP]]. We should ask ourselves, "If we don't implement this policy, how many people will die as a result?" If that number is less than 5, no new policy. :) Kidding! (not really!)
Anyway, I don't think we need any new intermediaries, if you have a problem with anyone, just talk to them. Even Jimmy answers emails. If you have a problem with a group of people, then the conflict resolution systems in place seem more than adequate. They are pretty much competing with each other now in some weird anarchic showdown, RFC, or mediation cabal? ;)
I'd say a good number of folks have been opposed to it in the past:
