I find that I still have a lot of ability even though I'm not an admin. ANI,
AIV, db-whatever seem to work pretty well in having admins do work for
editors. And I can use non-admin rollback thanks to my monobook, so I guess
life is pretty good. I applied to Adminship awhile back, failed, oh well.
Life goes on. It's an encyclopedia anyway, not an MMORPG. We don't seem to
have a desperate need for more admins, or a huge problem with many corrupt
ones, so I can't see why the system will change very much.
