Rollback will still exist here, of course. The public is generally the most qualified to decide who gets access to any higher access. While it certainly means that more popular users get it rather than those who would be the most suited for the task, that again isn't a bad thing. It keeps the group accountable and focused, and without a ridiculous sense of entitlement that you get with appointed groups like the VSTF.
