we should go for superbot, because there are use cases for noratelimit too, 
such as creating accounts at outreach events.
  
  According to what I've just checked, in the history of Wikidata the 
`accountcreator` flag has been granted four times, and on none of those 
occasions has it been used for anything, the users didn't create any account 
with it. If we anticipate that such a need may arise in the future, we could 
introduce the event coordinator 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Event_coordinator> group, although for 
now such a need doesn't seem to exist.
  
  I would prefer it to be understood that belonging to this group is an 
undesirable exception, and I wouldn't like users who don't belong to it (almost 
everyone) to be considered handicapped or punished because they're categorised 
as "slow" or "limited", as opposed to "fast" users; in fact, all users can 
continue to edit at a high rate. Other names as mediocre as "superbot" come to 
mind, from more serious to more irreverent: structural user/account, greedy 
user/account, exhausting/draining user/account, speed(ing) offender, 
freeloader, racehorse (racing goat <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_racing>? 
🤨)…
