How has having a highly centralized administration helped the wiki so far? How do you know we couldn't have been better if we had this system all along?

Stating "because we've done it this way for years" is a pretty piss-poor argument for just about anything. Could you prove to me an instance where having elitist bureaucrats has benfitted us in any particular instance?

Nothing is invalidated by this other than the idea of users being in power just because they have been for a long time. The people that are currenly bureaucrats are only in that position because I put them there at one point or another, and I am incapable of undoing such action myself, not because they necessarily have had support from the community over all those years.
