You're confusing what he said here. That feature is great for joining
an existing domain. Simo was saying that firstboot gets in the way if
he is actually setting up the domain controller (which would have no
local users besides root).

That said, the current firstboot allows you to just walk through and
skip user creation, last I checked. So I'm not sure why you need to
cancel it. If you just don't enter anything in the username and
password fields, it doesn't stop you.
