I didn't want to quote everything you wrote, so I'll just respond here:

''A bureaucrat can promote a user instantly to a rollback, chat moderator, or moderator when he feels that the user has a potential to become one. This would be just like how it was before the new system'': This was only overused because administrators continuously promoted users to chat mod. If only bureaucrats did it, the number of promoted chat mods would be substantially less.

''A bureaucrat can promote a user to an administrator if at least one other bureaucrat supports. This could be done via message walls.'': By being promoted as bureaucrats, we can obviously tell who would or would not make a good admin. We will know whether or not a user is generally not liked by the public and will not support him, right? Unless we can change this to a version of 2/3 support from bureaucrats and a 75 percent majority vote from users.

If a bureaucrat wants to promote another bureaucrat...: okay :D, forum thread it is.

If an administrator thinks that a user should become a rollback, chat moderator, or moderator, message a bureaucrat.: Already mentioned in my argument.

''If an administrator thinks that a user should become an administrator, the administrator will write a blog post on why the user should become one. A simple, "S/he's good," won't work. '' Sure, this can also be in a forum thread. 2/3 support from bureaucrats and 75% support from other users would work. There might not need to be a set limit on users and time for voting. If there aren't enough votes (1 support, it means the user isn't "well-known" enough).

''If an administrator thinks a user should become a bureaucrat, message a bureaucrat. If the bureaucrat supports, the bureaucrat will start a blog post in which both bureaucrats must support and 90% of others must support in a blog post before the user is promoted to bureaucrat.'': This was discussed at length in chat. At first, it was 2/3 from bureaucrats, like usual, but there was a unanimous oppose when I decided this. So I changed it. I can always change this back.
