"RfA is a horrible and broken process". Jimbo Wales, 18 March 2011[ref]
My response?
"RfA is a horrible and broken process. But we can only hope to fix it if we ensure that the tools once again become no big deal."
Once upon a time, Jimbo said that the tools were no big deal. And he was right. But in 2011, an increasing proportion of RfA participants believe that adminship has evolved into a big deal. While the tools are largely unchanged from five or six years ago, adminship has expanded into a quasi-judicial role, in areas such as AfD, decisions on whether to promote proposals into guidelines, and RfCs in general. Whether or not that is a problem, it is detrimental to the project to continue to pretend that adminship in its current form is nothing more than a janitorial role. —WFC—
