When invoking a program, I really prefer to use long format arguments for the self-documenting nature. The intent was that 'Distro:create_user', 'set_password' could be overrideable, in a Distro subclass. So you could do that there, but I'd also be willing to accept something else that sanely did that, as at least 'create_user' is longer than it could be.
