This will allow any post to be edited by any autoconfirmed user.
For now, we're just going to turn this on by request for ruwiki, MediaWiki.org & enwiki. We want to make sure that this is a positive change before turning it on everywhere.
Note: hewiki has also asked for this.

That's easy. A post can be edited if:
We just need to grant autoconfirmed users that right.
But do we really want to enable that for all wikis? I think that's a horrible feature :)
We're not locked in. If autoconfirmed turns out to be a problem in some wikis, we can change it either globally, or per-wiki. Meanwhile, the features we're developing in conjunction (T89187: R4. "Your comment has been edited" Echo notification (Russian) and T89198: R3. Add "undo" functionality to edited Flow posts (Russian)) will be useful regardless.
Change 196068 had a related patch set uploaded (by EBernhardson):
Enable Flow post editing for autoconfirmed users on Mediawiki, English, Russian
We could do it on Beta a little early to test.
Once it's in production, Beta should just follow the production config.
