Comment (by azaozz):

 Looking at 52970.diff thinking perhaps this can be enhanced further.
 Generally there are two types of "users" in WordPress:
 - Registered users that have an account on the site and can login with
 username/password.
 - Site visitors that do not have an account/cannot login.

 The default data stored by WordPress depends on the "behavior" of each
 type of users. For example for site visitors there is no data stored at
 all. However if they post a comment, their name, email, website (if
 entered), IP, and the browser UA string are stored with the comment text
 and can be exported and/or deleted/anonymized.

 Registered users can supply various data about themselves on their user
 profile page. They are in full control of that data, can see, change or
 delete it at any time. In addition their email address and login username
 are stored and used for security purposes (logging in, email notifications
 in some cases, etc.).

 IMHO it is important to always make it clear which type of users the docs
 are talking about (even if that repeats a bit too often). Thinking the
 proposed changes here can be adjusted a bit to include this clarification.
