 (with the current small notice at the top).

 Actually, I tend to disagree here. Unless I'm mistaking, the latest series
 of security issues all involved non-privileged users who escalated
 themselves as admin users. So if we go the route of preventing the admin
 area from working at all (which I'd +1, personally), it should really be
 entirely, for every user.
