 Replying to [comment:1 linuxologos]:
 > * But giving '''promote_users''' grants the editor the capability to
 change the role of ANY account, admins included. He cannot edit the
 account directly, but the "Change role to..." dropdown is now fully
 functional and does not respect superior roles.

 There is no such thing as a superior role (apart from maybe Super Admin).

 The ability to change the role has to be capability based - you shouldn't
 be giving this power to people you don't trust :)
