This has happened a few times before, and it really is a consequence
of a limitation of the capability system.  If there was a way to say:
capability string A is equivalent to (or: supersedes) capability string B,
it wouldn't be necessary.  The old cap strings can remain in the code
until an incompatible change is made.
