I would actually rather get rid of the 'default' user, now that we have
support for BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES. The 'default' user is not needed
for anything in Buildroot itself, and I'm pretty sure some people might
not know / remember that we always have this password-less user and
remember to remove it in a post build - I know I haven't.

Do you have any use case for keeping it instead of just using
BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES?
