Yes. Wasn't that always the intention?

Most wikis don't have oversighters, and getting stewards to do it is really not
such a great idea - either we'd be swamped, or people would just continue to
use the "God-awful hack" (the latter being both more likely and worse). Even
for wikis with oversighters, I doubt we want to lay this on them - mostly due
to workload, but also because it's not what they were elected/appointed to do.
