There was no general consensus for what people though they were voting
for, nor is there any sure way to predict what they will now say,
since a great many of the practical details have only been clarified
in the last few days upon seeing the implementation.
Now that we actually have a proposal, it needs to be approved

Ok if that's the case it makes me a bit less
worried on that front though I
am still confused. You say "autoreviewer" but a lot of others are using
"autoconfirmed" which is obviously very different and much broader. Is this
for those with a separate autoreview flag or are all autoconfirmed users
getting this ability?
Here's what we're currently on track to implement:

What this means is that there would not actually be a separate "autoreview"
group. Autoconfirmed users would be given the access rights. I made this
simplification because I wasn't able to find any documentation of any clear
decision on this front.
Since that time, a debate was started over here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Flagged_revisio…
Listed in there is documentation of a couple of polls that were run. I'm
reading through those polls to try to understand where the support and
opposition comes from. Needless to say, we need to wrap up that debate
before I can explain further how this is going to work. If you have
opinions, please post them there.
Thanks
Rob
