I have mentioned how important this thought is at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Stewards_policy#Changing_rights_in_own_wiki.3F
and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_help_from_local_Wiki_sysops_or_bureaucrats_with_language_barriers
to express that current situation has unnecessary bureaucracy and

specific page these is appreciated.
