Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 In [changeset:"39439"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="39439"
 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.

 Merges [34938] onto 4.7 branch.

 Props jnylen0, rachelbaker.
 Fixes #38962 for 4.7.
