Yes, initial user creation should belong to gnome-initial-setup. (For
the Workstation image only.)

I'm not even certain that we want to allow setting a root password in
the installer. (For the Workstation image only.) Having an extra
password to remember is half as user-friendly, gnome-initial-setup will
put the first user into wheel anyway, and gnome-control-center will
never allow deletion of the last user in wheel. It's been optional for a
couple releases now (you can just skip that spoke in anaconda and your
system will work fine :), and Ubuntu has been doing it this way since
about 2008 or so with no problems.
