How many of those were because of bad admins though? Sometimes, an admin
needs a break from seeing extra buttons they no longer want to be dealing
with, so will request to be desysopped. I don't see that as a problem.

Bad admins of course are a problem, and so are compromised accounts. Less of
that next year of course, but admins can resign whenever they wish - it
isn't a problem at all.
