After the 2.0 Opt-In came out I discovered that my existing mod for 1.9 doesn't work right in 2.0. The Administrators were added to the file I modded, and the 1.9 version of my mod doesn't have them. I have now modded the 2.0 version of the file to have the old and larger map sizes. Since it is the version with the administrators, they appear in the game like they should.
I realized I should make a post here so information about them is more easily available. More details on the map size changes are here.
Updated January 26.
With the release of 2.0, Administrators have been added to the game. The number of Administrators in a galaxy is in the file, MapSizeDefs.xml, I changed for these mods. Using one of these mods will cause the game to use the number of Administrators in the mod.
The number of Administrators in the release version of 2.0 is less, except for Tiny, than the number in the original opt-in. My original mod for 2.0 was for the original opt-in with the original number of Administrators. I have now made a new mod that changes the map sizes for the release version and leaves the number of Administrators at the release value.
Here are the numbers of Administrators for the opt-in and release.

NOTE: These are the base numbers of Administrators. Researching various Techs will increase the number available. The final total may be 100% more than the numbers shown.
I have made no effort to balance the number of Administrators with the map sizes in these mods. Also, the map sizes for Gigantic and larger are the same in 2.0 and my mods. If you use one of these mods and don't like the number of Administrators, you are welcome to change the numbers to something you prefer. The value for each map size can be found by looking for <BaseAdministrationPoints>. It is the number after that. There is a value for each map size.
These mods should be compatible with any mod that doesn't change the file MapSizeDefs.xml.
Any mod that changes the Administrators will change MapSizeDefs.xml and will be incompatible with these mods.
This mod in longer available. It will need to be updated for Crusade.
