Comment:

 I agree the most way is this going to. User->role->caps.
 Removing caps at user level would make some searches more easy and quick.

 Just I would allow multiple roles per user to have a bit more granular
 system. This would allow to create task oriented roles like we are now
 Author, Editor, Contributor and some admin tasck oriented created roles:
 Appearance Manager, User Manager and so on.

 Just with that we can have a user that is Editor+UserManager and other
 that is Editor+AppearanceManager.

 So, I would suggest to allow multiple roles per user while removing caps
 at user level.
