But is it primarily used that way? I don't see it being used as such.
If I, as a non-admin, want someone to be blocked, there's a procedure
so difficult and long that I might as well not do it, which will
probably fail anyway. If an admin wants someone to be blocked, they do
it, and a day later some other admin comes by and decides that the
block was too long and unblocks.

Can an admin do anything then? No, certainly not. That's what I
discovered. I unblocked addresses. That was so bad that I basically
got into a war with another admin on nl:, which ended in both of us
resigning. I don't want those fights any more. I don't want to be an
admin the way things are now. Even though it would be damn nice to
have that rollback button, but then again, another advantage of not
being an admin is that I don't feel as much pressure to help fight
vandalism.
