I said in my blog comment about retiring that I may come back to vote on something I consider important enough. This is one of those times.

I vote C). Bureaucrat is the highest right that a user can obtain on a wiki and can not be removed by another bureaucrat. I think that the decision of promoting someone to bureaucrat should be left to the administrators, as issues concerning users of the wiki are still discussed in private by the administrators. Therefor, everyone who isn't an administrator can't know the user's stance on issues not publicized. Voting for bureaucrats should be left to the people who know what said user's opinion on issues discussed in private and in public is.

Something I expect someone to reply with is, "Well, why don't we just make all admin discussions public?". While that would solve this issue, it doesn't seem like a good idea to discuss user related issues in public that could possibly be embarrassing to the user.

Those are my thoughts on this issue. Farewell. (Unless someone replies to this and their message warrants a reply back.)
