I think permissions should be kept simple- simpler than roles even. It's possible for modules to add permissions, but I think the default permissions should only be "Editor" and "Administrator".
The editor can edit content. The administrator can do anything- including view the admin panel.
Again, third-party modules can extend the default permissions, adding subscribers or anything else.
Agreed, in retrospect I indeed see no need to make it more complex than two types of users. I would like to replace the dropdown in Edit User by radiobuttons then, and make sure it is extensible by modules.
Instead of a permission level use permission roles to more accurately allow/disallow users from parts of the site.
These roles for the admin area would be useful:
