Actually, I'd say there's been a steady,

control developers have over the site. We no longer need developers to
do things for us like oversighting revisions or modifying most
interface text. It's only new things that really need their
intervention.
Most of those came about because of the pain-in-the-arse factor for
developers - they have enough work to do keeping our fabulous towering
edifice of gaffer tape and string running! Checkuser, oversight,
interface text ...
I think the arbcom would be silly to take on the question of rollback
permissions if they could reasonably avoid doing so - accepting it
will mean everyone with an argument will whinge to them, more than
now.
(Personally I'd favour just making it autoconfirmed. But I didn't
!vote either time around.)
