The worry of course is that it makes vandalism very, very easy. If the threshold were low then it would be open for abuse by vandals.
Are you not proposing a whole new level of user just below admin? Seeing that certain features would be unavailable to "trusted users" (such as article deletion), the criteria for becoming one would be less rigorous.
Any thoughts?
Thoughts: not to be a jerk, but this is more of a Wikien-l issue, given that there's no technical issue with creating a new usergroup other than that the userrights situation isn't very modular right now (so a new extension would have to be created to allow bureaucrats or whoever to grant rollback ability). Wikitech-l is discussion for technical stuff, not local wiki policy. And this *has* been discussed extensively on enwiki; if you would like to resurrect discussion of instituting the group there, it would be a good idea to follow xaosflux's link and work from there, since policy is generally made on-wiki.
