Hello

Add term permission seems to have been forgotten in taxonomy, when applying this patch or some other:
#340652: Edit/delete terms permission per vocabulary

Similarly to what is possible with node types, this permission would have allowed users to create terms, without having the administer taxonomy permission (ie, without being capable of deleting or change vocabularies, like their own, or others that users aren't supposed to change).

Not having this permission hinders drupal's flexibility to a point where it was required to make a module, Taxonomy Access Fix, to address this issue:

However, such a module has to be integrated with many other modules (or vice versa) for this to properly work in all case scenarios.
Example, when adding terms via Term Reference or Entity Reference field (with References Dialog module), permissions set by Taxonomy Access Fix aren't respected and either a patch is made, or users will have to have admin taxonomy permission.

Therefor, i ask for integration of Add term permission to address this issue permanently for D8 and future releases, and also ask for a backport to fix this issue in D7.
