Extension talk:EmergencyDeSysop

Regarding the bureaucrat caveat: if it's possible to abuse it, they will. They'll write it up as a policy, and then sysops will be asked not to do it themselves, they'll just request that a bureaucrat do it and then routinely resysop themselves. Bureaucrats will ask "why do we have to go through a complex and counterintuitive process in order to desysop someone?" And then there will be pressure on developers to open up desysopping for bureaucrats using the normal user interface. -- Tim Starling 06:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
