Comment (by jillwilliams2):

 If at all possible, the plugin team members shouldn’t have moderator
 access. Both roles have a fair bit of power and currently there is a
 decided lack of appropriate oversight of that power for either role.
 Combining them creates additional ability for that power to be misused or
 abused. That isn’t a theoretical issue, as plugin team members have
 misused their moderator access to delete and shutdown community
 discussions trying to address problems with the activity of the plugin
 team in the past.

 If they do need that moderator access, please make sure there is an
 oversight mechanism put in place for both roles to better check the
 ability for that power to be misused or abused.
