No, we don't.  50% of admin actions in March 2006 were performed by 29
of our nearly 900 admins; 90% by 170.  We could probably lose 500
admins without any real impact on our ability to get administrative
work done.  Note also that sending articles to AfD or prod doesn't
require an admin.

Karmafist.  Ed Poor.  Guanaco.  Stevertigo.  There's others; do you
pay any attention to the Arbitration Committee's docket lately?
