Revisions to 'any role' term description
related to validator/validator#1425 and #436 cc @stevefaulkner @sideshowbarker as per my comment in #436, here is part of the update I had planned to do to help address this. it is also related to #358, but does NOT close that issue completely. I'm leaving in place the updates that Mike made in the merged PR, but likely will need to revise that column later on as well, so those specific call outs may be moved or changed in the future. Any further changes we would like to see to this text to help here?
