You think that the community will object? I understand where that
feeling comes from, but if the community really wants to have
"administrators" that have both privileges, it may continue with the
current deal by granting both of them to whoever passes "RFA".

In fact it's quite likely that communities will want to give as little
permissions as possible to users.
