Hi.
Is there some reason why the autoreview group (aka autochecked users) is 
implicit? It can neither be given to nor taken away from a user by a 
sysop/bureaucrat unlike the editor privilege.

Handling the autopromotion to an autochecked user in the same way as to 
an editor would IMHO give the project administration more control over 
it. For example, someone makes more harm than good - take autoreview 
away from them. Someone has been blocked once but their edits are OK - 
give it to them. And so on.

And actually I can't see any drawbacks of it but I don't know much about 
technical details. Are there some any?

I'm talking with regard to a discussion on Polish wiki, which I have 
begun, on enabling autoreview group. The implicitness of it has become 
an obstacle.

Regards
lampak
