What is the point of the administrative center in the relation ?

I'm from that area, I know Muizen by heart but that administrative
center .... that position has no meaning to me, just wondering
what that represents.

I'm not sure about Muizen, but I can compare with Dolembreux.<br>
The question is first: "what is Dolembreux?"<br>
Dolembreux is a "former municipality". It no longer exists as an
administrative boundary but yet it is still mapped as such,
historically. People love that.<br>
And its "admin_center" is the "former administrative center". It no
longer exists as such either, but the mention continues to indicate
where the center town or village is.<br>
It's just like Searching for Brussels on <a href="http://OSM.org">OSM.org</a>,
selecting Village Boundary and you get this boundary <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2404021">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2404021</a>
with the village in the middle :-)<br>
I personally love this one the best -)<br>
<br>
Please note that, if the administration has moved to level 8 (to
have the citizens pay petrol rather than the administration pay
personnel), the Post Office continues to use level 9 very much (for
post, not office) and that they even use a sort of level 10.<br>
<br>
I would vote for a former_admin_center proposition, but there should
be an admin_center vote first!<br>
<br>
