We have focused on supports and who needs to support.

But I would actually like to propose a failsafe, kind of like the clause for users with past blocks. I think that should be generalized:

A bureaucrat should retain right of veto on all promotions, whether by the standard nomination/voting process, as well as by spontaneous promotion.

While that may sound extreme, if the process is used on honest, earnest, able candidates, a veto will not be necessary. But it gives each of you three the ability to stop a promotion if you are aware of compelling reasons not to promote. It's a failsafe.
