Quite some time ago I advised the exec that I would not be very active as 
a sysadmin anymore as a result of other committments but that I felt there 
was still value in me holding my a/c as I was often able to react to 
urgent problems on short notice (as I have on several occasions since). 
I also said I wouldn't object if the exec decided to remove my a/c anyway. 
I think these statement still hold true.

As all the sysadmin work is volunteer I think it makes sense to spread the 
load across a number of sysadmins.  Regardless of whatever else happens I 
think we need to go back to using a tracking system to manage sysadmin 
requests.  I've used and like RT but there are quite a few others 
available these days.
