 = problem =
 We currently don't have an explicit release criterion about user creation,
 but we have release criteria and test cases that require a user account.

 = analysis =
 While filing [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863886 a bug
 about anaconda not installing firstboot], I realized that we currently
 don't have a release criterion that explicitly states that a user must be
 created and this user must be able to log in.

 In the alpha release criteria we have something close: ''"Following on
 from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on
 subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above
 criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this
 criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment
 without unintended user intervention."'' However this criterion only
 mentions firstboot, but not the user creation.

 = enhancement recommendation =
 Another release criterion: "If a desktop environment was installed or the
 system was configured to boot into a graphical target, a regular user
 account must be created, either during install or on the subsequent boot.
 e.g. with firstboot. After creation, this user must be able to
 successfully log into the newly installed system."
