 Replying to [comment:13 brocheafoin]:
 > The most obvious use case for a user without any capabilities is a
 former author. You would want to leave them as author of their content but
 prevent them from doing anything. When you remove a user completely, you
 have to reassign their content to another user, which would not be
 appropriate.

 Yeah, I was a bit stupid there. You could just move them back to
 "Subscriber". I'm no longer sure there is an actual use case for users
 without roles. Sorry for the rambling.
