Actually it is "fair", in a warped way. RfA is supposed to be purely a
risk management exercise: we subject prospective admins to a couple of
tests to reduce our risk that they go feral. The chance of a 3 year
old admin going feral is much much lower than the average prospective
admin, sort of by definition.

(So I don't see a benefit of desysopping/retesting, just on that basis.)
