Comment:

 Okay, for [attachment:14122.remove.post_type_supports.author.diff], I
 realized that the changes to each file can be optionally considered
 separately.

 We can make the default capabilities be edit_posts/delete_posts if the
 post type doesn't support an author -- that doesn't prevent further
 customization from relying on the author, however, so no real restriction.
 So I would not revert the change from wp-includes/post.php.

 On the other hand, we can continue to check post_author in map_meta_cap()
 even if the post type doesn't support author. If it ends up using
 cap->edit_others_posts, then it'll be either the default 'edit_posts', or
 whatever is specified.

 Going to remove the bits from map_meta_cap().

 ----

 Unit tests can be handled in #UT11.
