Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 Semantics - return "first" role - the 3 or 4 places it is used were
 already arbitrarily returning the first role. I know multiple roles per
 user per blog exists, but I wish it didn't. Joining user_meta to subdivide
 users completely breaks at scale (over 1M users, many millions of rows of
 meta)
