 `wp-admin/privacy.php`, `wp-admin/freedoms.php`, `wp-admin/credits.php`,
 and `wp-admin/about.php` -- but not `wp-admin/contribute.php`.

 This might not be the right place to pose a question, but you seem
 knowledgeable on the matter. What is directory wp-admin/user/ used for? I
 know what the wp-admin/network is used for. But I cant see anywhere in the
 code where any file in directory wp-admin/user/ is used for. It seems like
 a deprecated directory. If there is any use-case for it I'd like to know.
