Having a 17+ age restriction on admins wouldn't work, because the law is that users who are 13+ are allowed to register, and while I do feel that admin rights should be handed out to mature candidates only, I think that having an age restriction on admins would defy the idea of people aged 13-16 to be allowed to register and have the same rights as older users. It's only children who shouldn't be allowed to register, and if only children shouldn't be allowed to register, then only children shouldn't be allowed admin rights.
