Thanks for the great links (and for writing the post to summarize the ticket
which may be dormant because it is so messy and in need of rephrasing based
on a specific chosen solution).

I think keeping the ability to have multiple roles per user is important if
you kill the custom capabilities. It avoids completely murdering all the
use-cases covered by multi-caps and based on the trac ticket it should be
doable within the better code-ideas for the overhaul.

More thoughts in my reply to the ticket:

Working on the changes outlined in the ticket alongside adding a capability
argument to get_users() would solve a lot of problems at once :)
