:For point 3, I say no, since that would only maintain the "rollbacker bottleneck" noted [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Removing_rollback_requirement_for_admin_candidates here]. For point 1, I'd favor an opt-out process, and limit it to those that are currently active or semi-active; post that the new level has been added, and note that existing rollbackers will be promoted after (DATE) unless they decline. That allows time for the change to register, but gets it into play without having to wait for people to realize that they can ask for it. For point 2, start with the current RfR process, and maybe add some of the RfA process, since Content Moderators can do a fair amount of what admins do. For points 4 and 5, yes.

::In response to the first issue, I don't think current roll-backers should automatically be promoted to content moderators. I'm not opposed to the idea. I just don't see why that would be necessary. If we are going to promote current roll-backers to content moderator, I think we should only make it so that the roll-backers that have been the most active be automatically promoted to content moderator, but they should be informed about this change, so that they can accept or decline the offer in advance before it happens.
::In response to the second issue, I think that requests for content moderator rights should be based on the current RfA process, but not have so many requirements. I don't think that having rollback rights should be necessary to have as a prerequisite. And I think that if one of the two user-groups should be used as a prerequisite for admin-ship then it should be content moderators, since it makes the transition from rollback to admin less daunting for those that are suitable to obtain admin rights.
::I consider content moderators to be a user-group that requires more prerequisites than chat moderators and roll-backers, because of their abilities to edit protected pages, delete article pages, and move pages and images without leaving behind re-directs. Because they don't have much of the other admin tools, and because they don't have chat moderator rights, I don't think it's necessary for content moderator-ship to be as serious a business as admin-ship.
::In response to the last issue, I don't think it's necessary for content moderators to be given a special colour. Again, I'm not opposed to such a suggestion, but like my response to the first issue, I just don't see why it would be necessary for content moderators to have their own special colour.
::As a side note, I don't think the fact that discussion moderator rights are now available on all wikis is entirely useless. As of January of this year, they now have chat moderator rights, the abilities to delete comments on blog articles, and edit and delete comments. So while that doesn't count for much, I fail to see how that's entirely useless. But that's just me! :) ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 00:20, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
