Special:Log/rights shows crat rights were given April 26, concluding the subject of this thread. It seems like an election process for 1 or more new crats (presumably with the aim of appointing 1 or more new administrators without needing to contact staff each time to get them to promote in proxy) could be done without requiring the removal of previous rights, wondering why Kirkburn made that threat. It doesn't appear that those rights were abused to take away sysop privileges. The only time it appears to have happened was in response to Thread:9344, a request to retire.

Was the desire to appoint new admins actually communicated to Sxerks? It occurs to me that admins who want to promote others to being admins alongside them could contact the crat and make a request, point out good editing decisions, etc.
