No, Ed, You're proposing giving power to a set of troublemakers. Many good
editors are frequently reverted if they attempt to edit hot-button issues.
As far a counting Admins, we have seldom been able to prevent elevation to
sysop status of people who regularly edit from a controversial POV.

The formula I propose, takes that into account.
We should track the number of a contributors edits that are reverted,
divided into:
* reverted by admins
* reverted by ordinary folk
* reverted by suspected troublemakers
Additionally, we should track reversions MADE BY EACH USER. So anyone
who makes trouble by following around a "good" user and reverts all
their edits would be quickly tagged as a "reverts for no good reason"
user.
