Comment (by lgladdy):

 Hey Nacin,

 It's been a little while since i opened this, so i'm trying to recall our
 use case, I think it was basically that when you add a deprecated level_x
 capability to a role, any users who already have that role aren't updated
 with that capability, because update_user_level_from_caps() isn't called
 as part of the add_cap.

 Looking back, this probably isn't too much of an issue depending on the
 state of #16841 - I've not needed to do anything with caps in recent
 releases, but this was back in 3.3 so it may well be something that's
 changed since then!
