To be more detailed, a user with programming rights has absolute access 
on the whole server (using Groovy), and in a public farm if a wiki admin 
gives himself programming rights, he can seriously affect the entire 
server. Imagine if somebody could do anything on the whole Blogspot farm...

It depends. There is an issue on jira.xwiki.org about having an option 
for this, defaulting to false, but there's no requirement for this. 
Programming rights are really a dangerous thing, I don't see any need to 
grant them to anybody except one global account that decides what is safe.
