Comment:

 Technically, for how capabilities are designed, `false` is just treated as
 an empty value.
 If you really want to disable a capability, there is a default value
 `do_not_allow` meant for this purpose.
 The capabilities array, is meant to set specific capabilities for certain
 actions, not as a switch for such actions. I can't remember if this was
 different long time ago, and I'm not going to review the log, but
 basically this issue is not a trouble anymore, so I'm going to be closing
 this as `worksforme`
