Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:3 knutsp]:
 > Unless the capabilities check is moved over to `edit_post_link()` this
 change will pollute sites with unnecessary Edit links, even for anonymous
 users.

 With [attachment:27137.2.diff], the same would happen on sites using
 `get_edit_post_link()` directly.

 Here's what the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_edit_post_link Codex says]:

  Returns edit post url as string value, provided the current user has the
 `'edit_post'` capability. To retrieve a URL without checking user
 capabilities use `admin_url()` instead.
