 I'm mixed on this. I agree mostly because I'm completely used to ensuring
 that a user exists on the network now before adding a site, but it seems
 like learned behavior more than anything.

 If we do decouple the two actions, we need a nice way of explaining that a
 user should be created first. This could also be annoying for someone who
 has typed in all other site info only to find out that a user doesn't
 exist.

 I think there's another ticket (or comment) somewhere that talks about a
 pre-flight check of sorts. It could be worth expanding this screen even
 more to cover theme, initial users, etc... An intuitive add/create user
 interface could be part of that.
