I have heard this line of argument a few times now from people 
advocating some form of quick and easy de-adminship without resorting to 
arbitration. In general, I think we already readily give adminship to 
those who are nominated, and anyone who has a close call on their first 
try will normally pass overwhelmingly after waiting a month or two. I 
invite anyone who believes the argument above to point me to a case 
where having an easier de-adminship process would have made the 
difference in the success of an adminship nomination.

We could be more generous in seeking out candidates and making 
nominations, of course, but that's a different matter. There are many 
good users out there who are just waiting for a nomination.
