There must be an awfully large number of people who are content with
the current structure, given that the general approval poll on your
Wikiethics proposal failed 3 to 38 [1]. Polls are evil, of course, and
not binding, but that level of rejection is fairly comprehensive, and
came from all sectors of the community. I would imagine that "OURS",
if it were ever formulated into a proposal, would receive a similar
amount of opposition for similar reasons.
There are dozens of similar proposals put up every year. If any of
them actually received support from the community, they would be
successful. Admins are a miniscule 0.06% of registered users - even if
we always voted as a bloc, there is no way we could overrule a true
community movement.
