I think the intent is if they claim to be perma-leaving, and they mean it, they wouldn't mind giving up their wares. If it's simply a Wikibreak, then that means they recognize that they're coming back.

Can we have a rule that states that any admin who "quits" Wikipedia to protest this or that is automatically desysopped?
Why? "Bah! Sod this, I'm off!" can mean it (in which case there is no urgency) or it can be a precursor to a Wikibreak to restore sanity. Let each case be judged on its merits, in accordance with the Clue-based principles on which the whole edifice is after all founded.
Mind you, if we auto-moderated all "I'm leaving" posts from this list, life would probably be more pleasant :-)
