Meh. The oversight right in general is pointless, just a legal separation that for some reason can't be handled by admins. Oh well, I don't make the rules, and if people really want more flags we might as well let them ask. At least we aren't replacing the 40+ stewards with just two ovs, and have a whopping seven candidates. I'm not sure what to think of that, actually... Especially since that's more than past os requests done on Wikidata.

I completely agree, and don't know why there is such a move towards localizing oversight (and I imagine checkuser will come next).  It should be noted that stewards can still oversight as part of cross-wiki work that they are doing, per the voted-upon policy.

Maybe I'm a bit biased since I'm a stewie but frankly I don't see so much need for local oversighters, local checkusers might be ok (but actually I saw only crosswiki issues needing a check on wikidata) but ovs are imho pointless.
