I'm okay with it.
I think as long as the owner is responsive to any special requests
(changing the team's description, membership rules, etc.), then it's
not a big deal who holds that position. If the owner wants to step
down, he/she should anoint one of the remaining admins to be the
owner.
For the most part, the admins can handle the day-to-day administration tasks.
