Removeing is stewards only. There is a case for more stewards but I don't think there will be another election for a while.
Either add more stewards, or move this permission one level down.
Stewards are global. They can set arbitrary permissions on anyone in any Wikimedia wiki. There's a reason that this is not given to every random bureaucrat. :-)
Without any REAL knowledge of any other differences between the roles, I prefer the latter. However my opinion is, as stated, pretty uninformed.
I see no reason for there to be a greater prevalence of stewards (we just had a large-ish selection of new ones); the need to remove people's sysop or bureaucrat flags is very rare.
