The timing (and the identity of the operant Steward) suggest to me that Durova was strongly induced to resign as a face-saving measure.

I don't think she walked the plank on her own dime. I think WP:Office put the coins in the meter.

On the other hand, I can think of some admins that have made plenty of bad blocks without resigning. Maybe Durova is having pangs of conscience, and she will decide to turn around and become a crusader for justice. Like Kelly Martin!
