Don't know what either of you is really getting at, but this is simply
inaccurate. Admins have recourse to deleted revisions, which may
contain much content in breach of the law, if it were published,
rather than merely archived deleted revisions.

The board can not revoke the licencing of the content, so their
actions are largely insignificant in terms of ability to cause any
lasting harm at all, and unlike the adminship, there is a regular
process for their continuous review and reconfirmation or replacement.

Now what was your point again?
