Per community discussion - http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Simple_talk&oldid=1685549#Additions_of_user_rights_.28-sysop.29 - please give bureaucrats the ability to remove sysop and bureaucrat rights at the Simple English Wikipedia.
In WMF projects removing rights is restricted to stewards and developers. IMO This request cannot be processed.

For Rob: This would change '+simplewiki' => array( 'bureaucrat' => array( 'bot', 'rollbacker', 'flood', ), 'sysop' => array( 'rollbacker', 'ipblock-exempt' ), ), to '+simplewiki' => array( 'bureaucrat' => array( 'bot', 'rollbacker', 'flood', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat' ), 'sysop' => array( 'rollbacker', 'ipblock-exempt' ), ), in the wgRemoveGroups array

Per the above request, the change is now live to allow 'crats to remove sysop rights from accounts on simplewiki. This is removal only, not add. This is now live on the project.
"This is removal only, not add." - Bureaucrats should still be able to add +sysop, if that's what you mean?

Anyways, http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights : Bureaucrats: # Add groups: Administrators, Bureaucrats, Bots and Rollbackers # Remove groups: Bots, Flooders, Rollbackers and Administrators So seems to all set.
