I made a bunch of people sysop. I think I got everyone who requested it. Plus, I got a few more besides.
The only thing I ask of sysops is that you not delete pages unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that there will be no controversy about it. :-)
If we have fights about deleted pages, then I think the best thing to do is to implement some form of nondestructive delete.
But, better to just not fight in the first place. :-)
