Comment (by ryan):

 Caps should move out of usermeta.  usermeta is a global table but caps are
 a per-blog resource.  Using the tables I mentioned follows the rule that
 you store something only once, but we don't have to be strictly by the
 book.  Busting caps out of the array will definitely help.  Keep in mind
 also that with roles we have a level of indirection.  One can't directly
 query if the user has the "edit_users" cap since the user has only the
 "administrator" role/cap.  You have to look up the role to get at the
 caps.  Using the extra tables makes this easier.
