I don't agree with users who don't have sysop- or above (in the
'hierarchy') level access viewing deleted revisions.
How many users would have this permission, and how would they get it?
Autoconfirm-style number of good edits + time on project = 'editor'
level?

for the "editor" status (my proposal for a user right
between user and
sysop), one would have the capabilities to edit protected
articles, view deleted revisions, and generally view admin-olny things (but
not actually perform sysop actions per se). And they might have a toolbar
that would allow them to nominate these things...
That's a better idea. The protection bit could be done as a form of
protection inbetween semi and full (and there could be a
super-protection that can only be edited by people with oversight,
checkuser and crats). Viewing deleted revisions would be good, but
might cause some problems - some things are deleted because it's
important that people don't see them (personal info, copyvios, etc),
making more people able to see deleted revisions could be risky.
