 In [changeset:"40993"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="40993"
 Capabilities: Prevent users having the `do_not_allow` capability.

 Meta capabilities use the capability `do_not_allow` to indicate a user
 should be blocked from performing a particular action. This ensures users
 can not have the capability as it would cause unexpected behaviour.

 Props johnbillion.
 Fixes #41059.
