I was using "chain-of-command" as an analogy. Some (likely many more than some) wikis already operate as if Admins are "in charge" or users believe Admins are "in charge." This change (or other user changes) isn't/aren't likely to change this behavior/perception (one of the reasons I dislike the use of "user rights" instead of something like "privileges" or "tools").

As with all change, policy must adapt to meet those. That doesn't actually change the positions themselves though.
