Comment (by ryan):

 Translators will love this.  They don't like having the role names in the
 DB.

 This is how we should have done it in the first place, but changing will
 cause grief for some. If we create a plugin that restores the DB role
 storage, I think this would fly.  We'd not use the DB by default, but make
 it available via plugin.  Adding some actions to the various role methods
 would probably make a plugin pretty trivial.
