The main issue is that CheckUser is governed by Foundation policy.
Regular editing has legal consequences, of course, but the
consequences can be borne only by the editor, and not by the
Foundation.

So the issue with CheckUser is the Foundation's legal exposure.
Whatever it may be, it is likely lessened if CheckUsers are not
minors.
