[Wikipedia-l] Re: "adminship is no big deal"

This statemant, "adminship is no big deal", originates from enwiki. Could someone please explain in what circumstances this saying was worded? I see it used meaning "adminship is no big deal, so you shouldn't be so careful who to elect for this task" as well as "adminship is no big deal, so you shouldn't try and find ways to get rid of admins who are obviously unsuitable for the job". My guess is: this sentence originates from the truly virgin stage of wikipedia, where some people wanted to avoid others starting fighting for admin (or at the time, "sysop") status. Currently, I see no reason for the remaining of this statements in various places in the Wikipedia namespace in various wikipedias - none at all. /Habj
