You miss the point. Junior is not a "level". It is a role. If I am a
parent wishing to see what my children see on their accounts, I may very
well want to be part of group "junior". Furthermore, "med" is certainly not
a level. It, too, is a role.

I just don't like the level idea at all. The lines are not very clearly
drawn between what is "novice", what is "intermediate", and what is
"advanced" whereas the separation of menu entries into special kinds of
users, each of which is served by a working group within Debian is very
clearly defined.
