    Description

      Sometimes we need to

      • remove capability that is no longer used (MDL-37479)
      • rename capability, for example mod/wiki:viewpage -> mod/wiki:view (MDL-55554), mod/forum:viewdiscussion -> mod/forum:view (MDL-55555)
      • combine two capabilities in one (MDL-51630)
      • and so on

      We need to make sure that 3rd party plugins checking this capability receive correct result together with debugging message. If we just remove capability has_capability() will return false.
