Agree that it should be redundant, but I should say I have needed to use
it in the past. I think the particular bug I was hitting was that after
changing bookmarks or removing referrers (can't remember which, may have
been both), I used to have to clear the cache to make the change
appear. Haven't done this recently (just haven't changed those; rarely
add a bookmark, and I no longer display referrers), and I know the
cache code has changed somewhat in recent versions so it may have been
fixed too. I'll try testing for it.
It is really just a CYA measure for bugs where we somewhere forget to
invalidate the cache, but we may have users that were working around
something like me (shame on me) rather than reporting it (or in my case,
hunting it down).

I'm not sure this worth the effort to add back in. Users should not
need to flush the cache. If they do, we have a bug. - Dave

Along these same lines, I had noticed that the user maintenance page
went missing in 2.0 as well. I wasn't sure if this was on purpose,
but it is nice to have an easy way for users to clear their cache if
they need to.

OK. I did a very simple positive test case and creating a user
worked on the latest build. Didn't do much further QA. Fixed a
typo in a message in the ApplicationResources.properties file.

I just committed a fix for this. Please do a build and take a look,
if you have a chance. The Global Admin: Admin User page now
includes Create New User link.
Let's see what else shakes out, then I'll create a new RC to
address the couple of issues that we have identified.

Is there any way for an admin user to create new users in 2.0?
I can no longer find a menu option for this. I can edit existing
users, but there doesn't seem to be a way to create them. New
users can register themselves if the settings allow new users to
register, but I hope I'm just lost, because this is an important
feature.
