The points I see for NOT having this system seem to be as follows: (admins are capable of deciding this themselves), (the community vote the admins in), (there's a reason for admins), (there would be personal bias), (people would vote 'per' in waves), (the admins are trustworthy enough to do it), (the admin's job is to make meaningful decisions like this), (there will be public drama) etc etc

....could not every single one of these points equally apply to RFR?...then this would create a slight conundrum...because an RFR is the opposite twin to a demotion...it's Yin and Yang, out of balance..

It seems to me that we first need to agree on the role an admin plays, before deciding any of these things. If a promoted user is truly incapable, the admins can remove him very easily. If the users suddenly have the power to demote whoever they want – for any reason so long as the majority stands – the admins can't just bring him back on.
