The difference is that now, admins are supposed to serve the consensus
of the editing public at large and not their own interest.  Pure admin
deletion changes them into a group of superusers at large.  The only
problem with the current adminship model is that some admins don't
realize or accept that their responsibilities are a service
responsibility and not a blind power grant.  Pure admin deletion
promotes this latter model of thought when in fact, it is the only
real problem in the system.
