I think that the forums are just as important as the mainspace, even if the latter is the "main" part of the wiki. The number of people who come to ask questions on the forums is quite high, even when those questions can be solved on the wiki articles. Maybe more people use the wiki than the forums for solutions, but even if that's true then the forums are an undeniably important aspect of the wiki, as questions can be answered more specifically and personally than by an article.

That said, on further consideration, I don't think there's a problem with letting inactive users keep their rights. If there were only a limited number of people who could occupy a position, then yeah, but that isn't the case, at least to my knowledge. There's no resource scarcity in that sense, so taking away privileges isn't really a concern. Having some inactive admins hurts no one.
