Comment (by galbaras):

 @lukecavanagh I'm thinking of a separation of capabilities between
 development, customization and operation. I trust the WP community to find
 the best way to implement this, but the ultimate aim is to allow agencies
 to lock down certain aspects of the site from users while the site is
 under agency support.

 This is a real life situation that creates many problems for both parties
 and the tighter the solution, the greater the benefit.

 Personally, I think that a flexible role assignment will provide the most
 functionality, including things that the WP core developers may not
 anticipate, but as long as capabilities are separated roughly into
 development, customization and operation, a hierarchy is find by me.

 Just consider the possibility that some companies may want their IT
 department to change the logo in the theme settings, but not to edit the
 home page, in which case customizing is not a superset of editing.
