Change Details

At T16733 Meta requested that a brand-new permission which didn't existed at all projects at such time be enabled on Meta to be added to by checkusers and bureaucrats. Since now the permission exists on all projects and it can be added and removed from sysops everywhere, I feel this rights configuration is now redundant and should be reverted. I've not asked Meta about their opinion because nothing will really change (all checkusers and bureaucrats are already administrators) but if consensus is needed I will submit for community review. In the meanwhile I'll be working on the proposed patch.
