We do have an Arbitration principle that those who give up admin powers while 'under a cloud' cannot expect to resume them without confirmation.

Leaving, .. no problem. Using threats of leaving to manipulate and otherwise spread ill will.. very uncool.
I like the notion of automatic desysoping for anyone who 'quits' simply because we can handle it in a straightforward and dispassionate way. It will give people cause to pause for a moment before they bring out the hysterical reaction. ... but until we become more fair about resysoping people, I'm not sure that the results would be good.
And, we've then got less potential disgruntled former admins running around screaming "omg censorship". Why is is that adminship on en: is effectively for life? While I don't think that they need to be reconfirmed, certainly people should lose it if they're inactive.
