Instead of fixed number, shouldn't it be a percentage? That way, when the wikipedia population grows - the number of admins can grow along with it. To me, the number of beauracrats should be along the same sort of formula.

How many admins do we want? We have 800. Do we want 2000? Or do we want 200?
I suspect that until we can answer that question, most of our discussion on how hard it should be to become an admin is actually fairly pointless. Why? Because ultimately, if adminship is not to be a "reward for hard work", then it should be bestowed upon the top X% of the population, rather than every editor who has done good. And we don't know what X is.
