And being de-sysop'd is not the "end of the world" unless we personally 
see our adminship as a status symbol.  Really, what would be the 
practical implications of my losing my admin privileges?  There are 
hundreds of other sysops.  If granting adminship "shouldn't be a big 
deal", why is revoking it such a big deal?  It is a mere slap on the 
wrist, nothing more.  I can still edit, mediate, and serve on most any 
committee.
