The best argument for having this as part of the OS is for the live CD
scenario.  You might as well type in your username each time if you
have to pick language etc. too.

And once you've done this, then you don't need to create a user in the
installer, because we can just take the one you made at bootup.

It's almost like everything would be integrated and actually make sense!
