Comment (by scribu):

 It's not a technical problem: custom roles could indeed be added at the
 bottom, and then a filter could be added, to allow plugins to re-order
 them as they please.

 It's a cognitive problem: you assume roles are hierarchical, which is
 simply not true.

 They were hierarchical when user levels were used and they still look
 hierarchical now, but they need not be, as greenshady said.
