While it would be preferable to not have a strict number, I cannot think of smooth alternative. I think the best we can do is change the numbers when the community has a substantial change in numbers. Me too. Though I believe a reasonable number for all the major rights (moderation, admins and bureaucrats) should be taken to work on all of them (like, equal or more than five). Users also shouldn't refrain from voting on someone's nomination if they think they'll harm his/her judgement because of that, all users must accept the conclusion after all, we will not harm anyone.

Also, take in mind that bureaucracy is not that big deal, so it must not be put higher from adminship. I somewhat agree, but more rights means more responsibility, which means a greater impact to the wiki. The gaps between the different rights could be shortened, particularly admin and bureaucrat, but I believe an increase in participants is still needed for each right.
