 When deleting a user in WordPress the radio button defaults to "Delete all
 posts and links." If a user does not read or understand what they are
 doing, the results can be a potential loss of all posts.

 A better user experience would be to default to "Attribute all posts and
 links to:" then even if the data is attributed to the wrong user, at least
 no data is lost if the person does not read the options.

 Although this is a minor change the result would save a lot of pain for
 the end user. An example of where this may happen is when a web developer
 sets up a website for a client, after handing over the website the client
 deletes the web developers user account without reading or understanding
 the options.
