Comment:

 In [changeset:"39438"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="39438"
 REST API: Disable `DELETE` requests for users in multisite.

 In wp-admin, users are removed from individual sites rather than deleted.
 A user can only be deleted from the network admin.

 Until support for a `PUT` request that removes a user's site and content
 associations is available, `DELETE` requests are disabled to avoid
 possible issues with lost content.

 Props jnylen0, rachelbaker.
 Fixes #38962.
