like suppression, it should be used only by stewards and community approved functionaries.
I'm confused. Are you suggesting that suppression is not used by staff?
Super protection can be used by staff, and was. Suppression can be used by staff as well, and regularly is. (For instance, if legal were to ask me to suppress an edit, under court order). It (suppression) is not a tool we use without careful consideration, but it is one we use. I should think the same would be true of superprotection- it's not to be used lightly but it is a tool in our belt.
