Alright, now that 3b0c647bbfc52894d979976f1e6d60e40649bba7 has gone in,
we can come back to the topic of renaming default roles to predefined
roles as of v14.

Attached is a patch which does that and adds a section to the obsolete
appendix which should result in the existing links to the default roles
page continuing to work (but going to the page explaining that they've
been renamed to predefined roles) once v14 is released with the update.

Unless there's anything further on this, I'll plan to push in the next
day or so.

Thanks!

Stephen
