Hoi,
In case of a legal situation. Taking a position like "superprotecting"
means that you take on a liability. When you do this as part of a job, it
is different from doing it as a volunteer.

The only difference I can understand is that the stewards/admins and
their knowledge, skills and decision-taking power have been tested or
verified by the community. We can not say the same thing for *all* WMF
employees.

Can you clarify what you mean? If there are legal
reasons for
superprotecting a page, I think that the stewards could handle that.
