Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 Something probably worth noting is that while the menu endpoints are
 landing in 5.9 due to FSE, the new menu editing interface is not. So there
 wouldn't be any immediate BC breaks in this release if we stuck with
 `map_meta_cap` enabled for the menus CPT.

 I think taking away `edit_theme_options` from a user is probably something
 people want do? But I'm also not so sure how common that filter pattern
 would be because `edit_theme_options` is an actual capability, so it could
 be removed or filtered away with `user_has_cap`.

 I think I'd lean to keeping `map_meta_cap`.
