 Replying to [comment:8 obenland]:
 > We should discuss the patch a it more before it's ready for commit. By
 default Authors can't edit others posts, but they can publish posts.

 That actually works fine as is, and the patch doesn't affect it. When
 mentioning "author", we're not talking about the author role but rather an
 author of a post who can't publish a post. A better description would be
 "if user has edit_post but not publish_post, and edits a post, sticky gets
 unset"
