Log Message:
-----------
The Fedora policy states that we shouldn't delete our user:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsersAndGroups

Here is the rationale:
  We never remove users or groups created by packages. There's 
  no sane way to check if files owned by those users/groups are 
  left behind (and even if there would, what would we do to them?), 
  and leaving those behind with ownerships pointing to now 
  nonexistent users/groups may result in security issues when a 
  semantically unrelated user/group is created later and reuses 
  the UID/GID. Also, in some setups deleting the user/group might 
  not be possible or/nor desirable (eg. when using a shared remote 
  user/group database). Cleanup of unused users/groups is left to 
  the system administrators to take care of if they so desire.
