 is still missing.

 I hadn't considered it until now, but you have made a great point that I
 don't think was well-enough considered in removing the "skip email"
 checkbox from the UI. This is because that option essentially allowed two
 distinct scenarios at the same time:

 1. Allowed you to create a user without sending them an email
 2. Allowed you to create a user without sending them an email ''with a
 password in it''

 In removing the option to accomplish !#2, we seem to have also removed
 !#1, which I agree should be restored in the UI. Having to alter the now-
 default behavior to remove the user from the equation seems like a step
 back in usability.
