Not sure it matters here, but we've gotten a complaint from a user about
privacy issues associated with an automatic account creation and logging
thereof. ( OTRS Ticket 2011032810013434 for those with access to OTRS ). 

In this case, there was no entry in the new users log, but user name along with
the date/time of the creation appears in the user list <slight sarcasm> If
we're going to include the date/time of account creation in the user list, we
might was well put the auto-created users the new user log too, the impact on
user privacy is the same </slight sarcasm>

I concur with CoE and JMV, that account creation should only happen when a user
does a write action.  It's really the only practical way to adhere to our own
privacy policy.
