Comment:

 Problem with the patch: It doesn't delete posts or links.

 The problem is actually in remove_user_from_blog -- it doesn't do anything
 if $reassign isn't set. No posts are deleted. (This makes sense, as the
 user is still in the network.)

 As westi pointed out, posts do not become authorless. The user is no
 longer associated with the blog in terms of permissions, but the post
 still retains the user association. It's basically like saying that the
 user has no role on the blog. It's actually not that big of a deal.

 Thus, I'm punting this. I don't think forcing reassignment is necessary,
 and the other option -- `Leave the user's posts alone` -- just sounds
 weird. The current UX kinda sucks, but it isn't enough to deal with in a
 non-regressed state.
