Why isn't this in core? It looks like a dramatic usability improvement if someone wants to drill down to a specific role.

Feel free to bring it to the attention of core hackers -- hang out in IRC and let them know about it! :D
I certainly wrote it for that reason -- setting perms correctly on sites with 10+ content types and several roles was making my head hurt.

bits of this has been added to D7 core, in the form of re-organized / re-sorted permissions list.

i doubt it will get added to D8 because it's redundant to have another permission page. it's a specific use case, not a general use case.

Not really. The new permissions page on D7 is a huge improvement, but it's nothing like the grid principle here.

I'm going to close this.

I think a revamp of permissions UI in core for D8 is a good thing, but what this module provides is only a small part of the picture.
