Also, wouldn't it be preferable to have "firstboot" (if that is what it is called now) skip the user creation dialog if a user was created during the install?
Yes, that is the plan, but it's not implemented yet. Firstboot is dead now, the new tools are called initial-setup and gnome-initial-setup (yes, there are two of them, it's another loads of fun we need to deal with).
And if 'gnome-initial-setup' is going to be the default it's going to be loads of fun for the user too. The bright lads who designed it only allow you to continue if you choose a password according to their specifications.
Its not 'our' specification. We are using libpwquality, which was written by the security team, and takes its criteria from /etc/login.defs.
In some situations a 'quality password' should be preferred (and maybe even obligatory) but if a home user wants to use a simple password it's her/his choice at her/his own risk and the 'login manager' should only "advice" not hinder.
