Before this, there was no expectation that a page could be protected such that sysops could not alter the content of the superprotected page.
This is false.
Now, the devs/ops have attempted to introduce that capability, and the new functionality is very likely riddled with holes, some of which MZMcBride has suggested in the thread 'Options for the German Wikipedia'.
Most of what MZMcBride posted there has nothing to do with actually breaking superprotection. Editing a page that isn't superprotected isn't a break in the protection feature itself, for example. Nor is hacking people's accounts.
