Agreed. Stewards can use common sense as well, as community members, and the right choice would have been to desysop this user.
No. Stewards do not decide. This is a golden rule. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_policies#Don.27t_decide
Some stewards would personally be happy to desysop this user. But they must not do it. There is no emergency, we are not talking about some compromised sysop account deleting the en:wp main page over and over.
If you want to change steward rules, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Rewriting/Stewards_policy . But I doubt you will find many people to write in the policy that they can desysop who they want without any community decision. And by community decision, I am not talking about a few users agreeing on a mailing list.
