Comment (by Ipstenu):

 The first part (making users without emailing them) is part of this. The
 second...

 > I also regularly want to edit such a user's password without
 notification.

 Why? I ask this sincerely, though I know it always sounds odd. What's the
 use case there? Right now, WP is generating a random password (good) and
 requiring a user to get it emailed to them (also good) to get access.
 Resetting someone's password to a specific password is something we're
 trying to get away from :)

 You can click on the 'lost password' for them (or maybe someone can sort
 our 'send user a password reset link with a custom message' plugin which
 would be cool!).
