There are situations where not even the administrators of a particular community should be allowed to edit a page. A good example would be the pages that describe the copyright and licensing of Wikimedia products. Individual communities cannot change that (it applies globally), and individual administrators should not modify it. If there is a problem with translation, that needs to be brought to the attention of the WMF, because there may be a similar problem with translation elsewhere.
There are also some examples currently being discussed on the Wikitech-L list that may require significantly elevated levels of protection above 'all administrators on Project ABC', although they may call for another level of protection that can be customizable to allowing a much smaller group or specific individuals to be the only editors.
