I am going to be quite frank and say that it is pointless to have this discussion on this list. Only a fraction of the english wikipedia community are on it. If you are genuinely serious about this then propose it on the english wikipedia. This is not a foundation level issue nor will it ever become one so put it to the community.

Nope, it doesn't have to be this way. There should be no "full admins" and "partial admins"; there should be no "admins" at all. There should be people who protect pages and people who block vandals. Some people may have both permissions.
The suggestion sounds reasonable to me, but I do not see any way it could be implemented.
You think that the community will object? I understand where that feeling comes from, but if the community really wants to have "administrators" that have both privileges, it may continue with the current deal by granting both of them to whoever passes "RFA".
In fact it's quite likely that communities will want to give as little permissions as possible to users.
