Exactly -- in fact, our desysopping rate has hovered right around 3% in both
2006 and 2007.  Both 2006 and 2007 had ten involuntary desysoppings
(ignoring those that appear to involve compromised accounts); in 2007 there
were more involuntary desysoppings, but nothing significant percentage-wise.

It's important to understand that Wikipedia is a volunteer project -- people
will move on to other things.  There's nothing wrong with this turnover
(although the drama should certainly be contained more than it is now).
