I have been thinking about this. Please consider the following -

We have a relatively small active userbase, and I think a fairly proprtional administratorship. Therefore, pruning could take us below the optimal number of admins and loads of promotions to be filled; and then we might be tempted to rush-fill them, which would lead to admins who would probably be more likely to vanish on us. Things happen, and I think some sort of safeguard system is important even if the motion above is carried.
