Comment:

 This seems weird to me. Why break away from core precedent and rely on the
 admin cap check for this one instance only,  followed by moving the cap
 check to `edit_post_link()`? If we're going to move to rely on the admin
 cap check here it should be done consistently in core.

 Suggest close.
