I'll give you that the circumstances have changed since the nightmare Smeags had to manage, so the concerns with only having a single head moderator aren't the same anymore.

The concern today is why should anyone be in favor of a single head moderator over the previous system of multiple head moderators. What do we as a community gain from such a change?

On the other hand, the possible drawback is obvious: If only one person is head moderator and starts to abuse the position, then we could be in for some rough times.

As far as the community gaining anything, with Miguel in control, it won't be much different than it has been these past few months where he has been in control. I am sure he will do what I did when Kantor was deputy and discuss bigger decisions with whomever gets the role (as well as the workload that comes with the role). 

As for the other hand, I feel like Miguel isn't going to immediately promote someone to the role of deputy that is new to the mod team and I am certain he will find someone capable to be the deputy mod in case he ever leaves. So the chances of a head mod going on a powertrip aren't thaat high. But if it does happen, the community could always have a riot and bombard talon with messages until he has finally had it and nukes the head mods account. (I have been planning to use this tactic on Miguel since I decided to step down). 

This comes back to the point what happens when Talonman gets drunk and decides to ban you all
