Secret IRC channels of "trusted users" consulted on important decisions may make me rethink this.
The point is, as I see it, not that admins are inherently more trustworthy due to some intrinsic property, but that the set of all non-admins includes a much higher precentage of batty and untrustworthy folk than the set of all admins. It's not a personal slight against you, and it's not even a generalization of any kind. It's a pragmatic decision. People who have jumped through the hoops to become admins are by and large more experienced and thoughtful people, so when you want to get something done, you're more likely to get it done if you ask an admin.
Really, I don't see how any evil can come of this.
