Resolving as WONTFIX.

I don't think this belongs in the API, a maintenance script would be more
appropriate. I guess adding a --nopromote flag to createAndPromote.php would
suffice.

When you say that creating users sounds like a very difficult process, which it
isn't. It's just a matter of inserting a row into the user table, and the only
difficult parts there are calculating the password hash and validating the user
name. The latter is documented at the bottom of
