Or that on Meta it was listed and used to desysop a lot of old, old admin accounts with no activity? It seems silly that it took so very long for this to happen. I do love how those like Abd fought tooth and nail for it to happen at Wikiversity. I'm rather glad that they finally fixed the problem on Wikipedia.

Inactive admins get the tools they aren't using anyway removed so that their accounts don't cause massive disruption if they get hacked, and if they do come back, regaining the tools is trivial. Sounds like a rare case where common sense prevailed. Certain royalists who fight any perceived attempt to decrease their "power" and privileges might be upset, of course... but surely that's not the real reason behind the oppose votes here
