 Hello,

 User Roles on WordPress works through a serialized object in a record at
 the wp_options table in the database. I understand that this might be
 considered enough. Although, I have a suggestion for improvement:

 I had a problem while working with multisites: I imported one website, and
 it happens that multisites depends on the name of the option at the
 wp_options table. Because I only updated the name of the tables, I
 couldn't see my user roles because that part is in the name of the option.
 After importing/updating it I could see.

 I believe that it would be more maintainable if we had a separate table
 wp_roles instead. I would like to hear some comments on that.If enough
 people agrees or have some positive thoughts on that, I might prototype a
 plugin for the community to try it out.

 Thanks!
 Savio Resende
