There are way too many admins who shouldn't be, then.
It isn't as if we have the luxery to say that.
Just what do you mean by that? There's no reason why we need to continue to grant admin privileges to people who abuse them.

We don't have enough active admins. Roveing the ones we do have on any reasonable scale is not an option.

No big deal, remember? Deopping should be as easy as opping, IMO. Anyway, I think a lot of admins (including myself) have misused rollback at one time or another, or just misclicked (due to impulse?). I support hitting people who misuse rollback on the head with a cluestick, but unless the admin refuses to heed the advice, I'm not sure deopping would be the right thing. (Though it's always up to the community.) This is also why I think removing rolled back edits from the page history is a *bad thing*. Just because it's no longer in the article doesn't make a particular edit bad. In addition, as others have noted, we'll lose history of vandalism and disputes. (Although it would be funny to see a user talk littered with {{test5}}s but nothing in [[Special:Contributions]].)
