Comment(by sirzooro):

 We should also start thinking about capabilities here. Now we have
 following capabilities available for posts:

  * read_private_posts
  * edit_posts
  * edit_others_posts
  * edit_published_posts
  * edit_private_posts
  * publish_posts
  * delete_posts
  * delete_others_posts
  * delete_published_posts
  * delete_private_posts

 We also have few meta capabilities:

  * read_post
  * edit_post
  * delete_post

 I think we should have something similar for custom post types. At least
 we should provide general capabilities for working with custom post types
 (e.g. `edit_custom_posts`, `delete_custom_posts`, and meta caps like
 `read_custom_post`). Caps specific for each post type (like
 `edit_$post_type`) can be left for plugins - we need to provide
 appropriate API only.
