The criterion for a block is actually preventing damage - not
punishment, which is why mere past policy violation isn't reason for a
block and blocks for old 3RRs are ill-favoured.

So presumably de-adminning would also be for prevention of damage.

Examples would be useful as well, so we aren't talking entirely in the
abstract. Probably with names removed.
