I consider the term "power user" a

If people have used it disparagingly, that's unfortunate.
Can this be made policy in any manner? Because it's not a hypothetical.
Steven Walling - any thoughts on the matter?
I think you've interpreted my use of the term as disparagement, regardless
of whether i intended it that way. When I've used it in the context of
VisualEditor discussions, what I'm saying is that VE is not for people
who've made tens of thousands of edits. That's self-evident. I don't think
it's disparaging to say a certain feature is not designed for a certain
type of user, and that the opinion of experienced editors is not equivalent
to actually asking new contributors what they want from VE. A more frank
way of putting it is that just because you've made 50,000 edits and have
opinion, it does not make that opinion relevant to every situation. That's
just the truth.
