If either of the first two, you evidently have natural candidates to form an official blocking group, of whom one might be appropriate to grant access to such an easily-abused tool, no? What, exactly, is the problem, then?
The problem is that some of the sysops want to use the tool, but nobody has access to it.
Yes, I know - I'm trying to help the w:nl community select people to put forward to have access to the tool. "All sysops" is far too broad (indeed, "all bureaucrats" is, too). Thus we must find a singleton (or other very small) set of people trusted sufficiently to be given access to the tool, as it is a very powerful and very easily abused tool and should not be (and will not be) given out wantonly.
Am I being confusing? Sorry.
