It's actually a UserRepository interface problem, not an Avalon problem.  If 
properly defined, removeUser would have a specified contract for non-existent 
users.  It doesn't.  So implementors are welcome to do nothing or throw a 
random RuntimeException if the user doesn't exist.  The ObjectRepository is 
behaving in an acceptable fashion for the interface.

Better options would've been to have the method return a boolean (true if the 
user was present/removed, false otherwise) or have a defined exception for 
this case.  For the moment, a quick workaround is to have the 
RemoteManagerHandler check for existence of the user before calling 
users.removeUser.  As I said, I've got a patch for this case now.

We're revisiting the UsersRepository interface in 3.0, and this issue is sure 
to be addressed.
