Comment (by johnbillion):

 Chatted with Adam about this at WCUS. A few concerns:

 * The action buttons and links to the editing screen on the revisions
 listing screen need to be behind corresponding capability checks.
 * IIRC the async loaded revisions data on this screen has some capability
 checks involved.
 * This needs testing with users with and without various caps such as
 `edit_posts`, `edit_others_posts`, `edit_published_posts`, etc.
