Does it makes sense, to allow a user to revoke some of the global privileges from himself?
I think ideally, we would allow this but display a message warning that it's a bad idea. Something like "You are attempting to remove privileges from the user with which you are currently logged in. This is generally a bad idea and might result in you being unable to log in or change privileges. Are you sure you wish to remove these privileges?"
I can't think of a scenario when a user would actually want to do this; but just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean we should prevent the user from doing it, right? Or in this case, is it reasonable to disallow this action?
P.S.: Currently, it is allowed.
What does everyone else think?

Hi,
I agree with you that we should allow it, but also display a warning message.
Hugues.
