Why does Ebony need bureaucrat status? You do realise that it does nothing more than a regular sysop (aka admin) flag, except for having the ability to promote people to sysop? I don't see many requests for people to be promoted to sysop.

While Ebony is a good admin, I because there's no need for more people to have the bureaucrat flag, it does not change anything whatsoever. If someone needs a crat to be involved, they can send them a talkpage message, an email (if known) or poke them on private communications (like FB and Twitter): adding more crats does nothing at all.
