Not many, as far as I can see.  Or do you mean blindly follow process,
instead of canonical policy? ;-)

Lighten up, Jeff. 

List, be it noted that I personally consider the failure to sysop Jeff
as a prime example of the RFA system being broken.  Not one person was
able to advance a credible reason why we should worry that Jeff would
abuse the tools.  Chances of unwarranted deletions and blocks: roughly
zero.  Chances of wheel warring?  Low, and if he does we desysop him.
Jeff is not stupid.  Jeff also participates in deletion reviews and it
would be of great assistance if he could see deleted history.  He'd
also be likely to Wikignome, removing personal info from histories and
stuff.  So what if he's the most inclusionist inclusionist on the
project?  If we allow republicans to be sysops we should allow
inclusionists :-)

Others who should have been promoted but were not for ridiculous
reasons include Stephen B Streater and Georgewilliamherbert.

/me gets off soapbox.
