Gerrit change 181958[1] was recently merged, which
allows (among other
things) the ability for sysops to irrecoverably delete change tags. Since
irrecoverable deletion of anything from on-wiki is rather unprecedented, I
think we should stop granting it to all sysops in DefaultSettings.php, so
that wikis have to "opt-in" for this feature to be enabled. Thoughts?

I would go further and suggest that this right is not granted on WMF
wikis. We deliberately don't let anyone do irrevocable deletions. This
isn't MW 1.4 any more. :-)
