 In a multisite installation, if a site has only one user and you delete
 this user, the site has no more users.

 That seams logical, but this is not what super admin expects when he
 deletes a user from the network. When deleting a user, the following
 question appears :

   What should be done with content owned by XXX ?

 But even if he chooses "Attribute all content to:" option, the site in
 question is left without any user. I don't think this is impacting the
 site functions, but perhaps we should add a note ?

 We have several options :
 * if a user is selected to attribute the content to, it should also be
 added as a site user
 * OR, display a warning somewhere that a site will be left without any
 user before deleting the user
 * OR, do nothing and be responsible of some heart attacks when a super
 admin discovers that a site has no more active user.
