Speaking for myself: I don't want to moderate threads and I'm perfectly happy having the editing privileges of an ordinary user in the article space. I wouldn't even know what to do with these rights if I had them. So, no, I don't see these rights as stepping stones, as something lower in the hierarchy that I would need to acquire first.
