Comment (by jlambe):
We're really looking at this ticket and hope it will be merged somehow in
core.
Another case for comments specific capabilities is that we just want a
granular control of what a WP_User can access inside the WordPress admin.
We do have projects where people just want to post articles but don't want
to activate the comments. From their feedback, it's cumbersome for them to
still see or be able to access a "Comments" page from the Admin because we
can't remove the "edit_posts" capability from their role but removing the
"moderate_comments" cap do not help as it doesn't control the page and
menu display for the comments.
