I'm not comfortable with this. It looks like a pretty major change
to me. We'd have to audit a dozen or so pages, write half a dozen
more, and look at edge cases it introduces.

Just looking at the mockups, for example, it looks to me like you
could set yourself as a non-administrator, and then you'd no longer
have the option to change yourself back. I really don't think I can
do this from screenshots alone.
