Don't you hate it when application developers forget the d(elete) in
crud?  I feel your pain although not from a user stand point.  I just
hate to see a design where they did not allow for at least tagging
accounts as disabled.  How much space can a boolean take in any database
anyway?

I suppose you entered a RFE in bugzilla ?  I suspect that this is the
only way such a thing has a possibility to make it to a decision maker
perhaps in the next year or so :(
