On your other point, yes the #pirateparty instance is specialised, but when you really look around, they're getting more common.
And the #admin#rationale seems logical to me. I'm sure they reason, a generic instance is fine with 500 but a topical instance requires more space to argue and debate.

Read all about it. Washington Post report on a study, written by a "journalist" who has no idea how internet technology works if it isn't run by a corporation, and imposes culturally-specific judgements on internet use by people in other cultures, with different ethical frameworks.
