I think quite a lot of users feel strongly that it's the wrong one to have. Mainly because
 * It devalues people who make large edits infrequently, as they aren't making enough to "contribute" to being sysop as people who make small edits here and there
 * Experience editing the wiki does not mean that they have the experience needed to become an admin (community relations, etc)
 * Wiki communities shouldn't be encouraging editing for the editcount's sake, but making more constructive edits.
