trustworthy users.
Adminship stopped being about being a well behaved editor and not
abusing the tools long ago...

Obviously there was no consensus that these editors were trustworthy;
someone is not "trustworthy" simply because you believe them to be so. And
consensus is still an important part of the Wikipedia process.
