It probably shouldn't have been implemented yet, but, there is little chance that it is going to be removed. Not knowing who to "bug" about this is one issue, and the fact that it is in use, and near 100 people already have this right, is another issue. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Listusers&limit=500&am...
Also, this is being discussed in a number of places, including: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Wikiped...
and

Other devs. Brion. The foundation.
Where do I ask for a reconsideration?
You don't. You may beg via a bug report.
This was bulldozed by some very determined people who were determined to get their way come what may.
And they managed that in spite of an effort to bury the thing in endless debate. Slick move. A lot of people trying that run into trouble when they get noticed.
