I would say I am a bit concerned about how these votes proceeded for a few reasons:


 * This does not really seem to be an urgent matter. Demoting existing bureaucrats or admins is not a requirement before considering adding new ones.
 * Some of the information provided was not accurate: Peacexfreedom is clearly not inactive by most descriptions, for example.
 * I don't want to temporarily leave the community with too few people capable of dealing with admin-related activities.
 * The voting times seem way too short for such an important matter, and it appears those affected were not even notified. That's not very reasonable.

I am not suggesting this topic should be halted - but more time should be allowed for discussion. I would particularly suggest discussing who should be new admins/bureaucrats, if you're concerned about the inactivity of some current ones?

Note: I have removed EvergreenFir's bureaucrat rights due to their inactivity and a stronger consensus than the other votes. We have suggested doing elections in the past, but could not get approval from the bureaucrats due to there being "too many admins" and "the show is ending". Hopefully things will be different this time around now that the elections are mostly mandatory.
