It is highly unlikely that Slim would re-protect in the event that some 
other admin unprotected; she's never done it before, nor does it seem to be 
in her nature.  In fact, I don't recall ever seeing an admin protect war; 
block wars, but not protect wars.  It seems to me that my own hypothesis is 
far more likely.
