Hmm, not really. Right, they lose the right to vote in cases. But they keep
everything else; including checkuser/oversight rights, access to the arbcom
list, a voice in discussion of checkuser candidates (I'm sure people are
familiar with the leak about my own request, if not pm me), and they also
request things on "behalf of arbcom" - two users to do this were Dmcdevit
and Raul654.

They may not be *on* the arbcom, but they're still considered as members
until they actually properly quit.
