Thanks to @ ThePlatypusofDoom:, @ Anarchyte:, @ Andy M. Wang: for kicking this off. Well I think this could be an important essay, but it is early days to at the moment. I think that RfA inflation is a big problem, and is only going to get bigger as time goes on. Editors who actually want to be admins wont be able to as the bar gets set higher and higher.
Andy has suggested it may be userfied initially, and this might make writing it easier. I don't personally think its redundant, but there are of course other problems associated with RfA. One thing that also annoys me is editors who are prejudiced against editing in certain namespaces, and will discount mainspace edits because of "poor" ratios to other namespaces, e.g. see [1] and [2]. Perhaps it could also be addressed here with "related problems". --Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:28, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
