It is highly unlikely that Slim would re-protect in the event that some
other admin unprotected; she's never done it before, nor does it seem to be
in her nature. In fact, I don't recall ever seeing an admin protect war;
block wars, but not protect wars. It seems to me that my own hypothesis is
far more likely.
