We can install machine w/o user accounts, removing the ability to log

This has been the reason this hasn't been changed the last few times
someone proposed to change it.
I don't know how many folks do installs with no user config, but it's
definitely possible right now and that could mean they wouldn't be able
to reach their instance. We could of course change that so creating a
new user is forced, but I'm really not sure it's that much advantage.
If you want to remove root access that should be conditionally done at
firstboot only if a user account was created.
This seems a more reasonable place to look to change this, I agree.
True, this concern has been raised before. We need to ensure that user creates at least one non-root user account; firstboot is just the right place to ensure that.
no need to create a user account in *all* installs
I have a server which only runs several VM's with specific services, no
need user accounts in the host or in the VM's,
so you propose when I reiinstall any of them create a user account in
each of them,
that will cause boot the first time change to permit root login and
delete the *forced* user account
and the server is hosted remotely, so if anything is wrong with it I can
only access via ssh
so this *feature change* is no simple,
