That's a very good question. I don't know. Perhaps this really strips the user from any autopromoted status, such as reviewer (Sichter) in de-wiki or patroller in fr-wiki. Well, it certainly does not "block autopromote". When the developers produce scarce documentation of the features, the end-users cannot really tell what happens.
