I'm an admin on en, and have blocked myself for a week for a wikiholiday. I 
happened to check my watchlist at work (while being logged in), and 
discovered rapidly that the admin "rollback" feature is not inhibited by 
blocking (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Jfdwolff). 
Okay, the blocking of admins is a rare occurrence, but I believe this 
security issue might need addressing...
