Short of going to the backup tape/drive/whatever device in use, isn't image deletion permanent? If someone hacked an admin account, couldn't they delete dozens, or even hundreds of images before being stopped, especially if they used misleading edit summaries?
Unless ALL admin actions are easily revertable, removal of admin privileges from inactive accounts seems like an extremely obvious method of damage prevention to me.
If it's too much work, we shouldn't dodge the work, we should appoint more bureaucrats until we have more than enough to voluntarily cover all the duties.
