Description
If the bot needs a channel privilege for a given callable, it probably wants to do something related to channel operations, and triggering such a callable in response to a private message makes no sense.
Sorry about trying to add something into 8.0.0 this late… I've been writing the 8.0 migration guide tonight, and when I ran across #2405 I realized that #2399 should have contemplated doing this too. If we're gonna "breaking change" privilege-decorator stuff, we should do it all in one major version.
If others agree that this is a good idea we can just merge the patch that's already ready to go and get on with finishing the release. (That's why I didn't open an issue first, to shorten the discuss -> implement -> review cycle.)
