Less than 1% of admins, then... I don't think that suggests anything.
It suggests that it takes a lot to de-admin someone. I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing, but I'm not sure how to solve it anymore, either.
I don't think it's a bad thing. Before 2006, de-adminning was ridiculously rare. Unfortunately, with so many more users we have hugely more admins, so we're going to be wrong about the "basic sanity check" from time to time. The ArbCom does de-admin when it's called for.
Though cluification is *always* preferred, and a bit of positive peer pressure (honey catches more flies than vinegar) from fellow admins, in a collegiate spirit, goes a long and productive way. I've seen a lot of admins I thought would be disasters turn out fine, so I worry a lot less now.
