If I understand this correctly, Wikipedia might be in trouble once the old guard retires because new ones aren't coming?

That's one take away. An alternative I've seen is that it's much harder to become an admin. The alternative makes sense to me, but definitely still be an issue since most people only have so much free work they're willing to put in.

No, new ones are coming, they’re just old accounts
