This is on the list to do but is currently low priority. There are no 
plans to add this for FC5. As long as all users are added through the 
user files (system.user and local.user), it should not be necessary to 
add users in modules. Note, users with levels can be in the base module 
so the failsafe users will still be in the policy. If you disagree with 
the need for this please let us know.

Yes, I got a little overzealous with the initialization, go ahead and 
remove these.
