Indeed. And rightly so - star articles matter more to the project than putative "star editors". Which is why I regret attempts to leverage FA and DYK into a surrogate for a star system. One of the nice things about Wikipedia editing is that there are many ways to be a "star" measured by self-esteem. One can be a star merger of articles and know it, without having to have that on any list.
By the way, "bigger" is fundamentally good. It's a point about databases I learned elsewere : "you can look stuff up here" is a bit dull, but a database generous enough that you start searching it in ways new to you becomes a friend.
