But that's again because being an administrator is supposed to be "no big deal" or whatever Jimbo said about it. It generally just means "this person has been around for awhile and does not have some sort of pathological editing problem that makes large amounts of people hate them." It is not a title that is supposed to relate to any particular POV except "Wikipedia is a good thing" which even then you can find some variety in. And I think people who don't share that POV probably shouldn't be taken too seriously in discussions about its policies or future -- its the axiom from which good editing and good decision-making derives.

Besides, admins make up 1% of the Wikipedia population at most, if you made some effort to involve other users, you could easily have more non-admins join in such discussion. -Mgm
Non-admins who get involved in policy discussions -- especially those relating to administrators -- have a tendency to become administrators.
