Think of it as a technical thing that can be user/pwd, certificate etc. Not as a "person" I agree. Mainly because I think of users as "actors", which means they can be machines or agents. The objectional part of 2.4 was the idea any random person on the internet can waltz up and create an account. Not only is that sometimes not allowed, it may not even be meaningful in terms of the portlets the enterprise is using. Even if having human accounts is meaningful, exposing user registration should be, at a minimum, a policy decision that is up to the owner of the server to deploy. Well, until I get 2.6 running the only way I know of to create portal users is to register them. Rats. ;) And of course I'd really like to do user account creation under program control, not by interacting with a browser.
