And there's certainly no justification for any number of mainspace edits to be implemented as a requirement to become CM. Going off this, if someone is out of touch with the community, then that can be said in the comments/opposes in an RfR and the user can work on it thereafter. Usually edit requirements are in place to prevent trolls, but the community would never consciously allow a troll to get CM rights in a voting process. So I agree overall.
