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 not discussed elections because many of the mods have suppressed the discussions before, and we do want to have an election. Also, the problem really should be that they have not properly wanted to staff the wiki in recent years, even allowing users who have passed the time that says they will be demoted for inactivity stay. Also, if you did demote all of them, we still are under the same amount of protection because the two other admin pretty much have taken care of the vandalism problem, while peace isn't here to do it.
