That's a good point - because it's difficult for the community to demote a bureaucrat, only someone who has proven to be reliable and reasonable should be promoted to that role. It's good for a wikia to have at least two bureaucrats, in case one loses interest and leaves, or even three or four, if it's a big community. But many more isn't necessary.
