It's good to know that even some people like you opposed to some proposed changes, you've taken the time to understand them and consider them. That's respectable. Something I'd like to address though, not trying to change your opinions, but just as advice:

"I know I'll forever remain true to my old fashioned ideas of 'admins being like older siblings and role-models for other users'" – While I see why you think this, it's easy to be just as much of a role model even like "older siblings" without rights. The fact that you're a seasoned and knowledgeable user in this community makes you like an older sibling and a role model, not whatever rights you have. For example, I could remove my adminship at Brickipedia (which I've done before actually!) and it doesn't take away from how other members of the community respect you and your opinions. I'd definitely suggest you follow my mindset in this regard, in that no matter what titles and positions you have, you're still just as important to the community as both a role model and even just a friend to many.
