Comment:

 One big benefit of changing this would be that you can filter the meta
 cap, and conditionally allow/deny publication based on the post's content
 - e.g. you could block publish at the caps level if a condition isn't met.
 This isn't possible with the generic `publish_posts` cap, which is missing
 the context.

 I suspect this patch probably needs refreshing, and we need to check that
 there haven't been any new uses introduced (e.g. for Gutenberg).
