As I mentioned in my initial post, the Law of Xkcd informs us that if we
change this so that user creation is mandatory, it will *inevitably*
piss someone off.
Me for example, although I'd be more annoyed than pissed. ;-)
Both at home and work I have all user accounts centralized in LDAP. I
don't need or want anaconda or some other initial setup tool to force
account creation upon me. Nor the setup of using LDAP/Kerberos/etc. for
identification/authorization. That's one of puppet's jobs here and having
to create a dummy account to proceed past some mandatory setup is
irritating. I've raised this concern once before already. I don't mind
hitting a skip button -- I certainly don't want to make it hard for others
to set up their accounts manually if that's their cup o' tea.
