I've always seen the patroller group as a bit of an odd group with a limited toolkit that is not often used to it's fullest potential. I'm absolutely not blaming the members of the group here, but the set of rights themselves (and I have been there, for two months). I think the content moderator group is a better fit for these people. The biggest advantage being able to edit protected pages and delete content.

In my opinion, not all potential comods would make great sysops. But I think patrollers would make great comods. I've seen my share of people in the past who dit absolutely marvelous managing tons of content, but had poor decision making when it came down to blocking people. The biggest pain points being not able to tell a confused new editor from a vandal, or inconsistent blocks.
