Comment(by dd32):

 > It occurs to me that I may be looking at this backwards from some of
 you, maybe even most of you, in thinking of capabilities as being primary
 and roles as being a secondary but useful and convenient way to group
 capabilities.

 You're floating between both..

 Roles are primary to group capabilities to a user, And giving a user a cap
 is a secondary thing, if the role doesnt manage 100%.

 You'd be affected detrimentally by this change, you would HAVE to have
 umpteen roles, no question about it.. removing the ability to have
 multiple role and allowing to have user specific caps wouldnt really add
 that much performance benefit IMO.
