Not sure what the purpose of adding an event here would be. Wouldn't you just create a separate module for adding users? You would just create the module and include functions_user.php in it, which is what the "Add users" MOD does. Or am I missing something?

Well, we should create extensions and not modules for 3.1.
In this way you can add a new user, enabling this extension, where it will ask you if it should create a new user if the username is not found. You have the possibility to cancel if it's typo.

Is that gospel according to phpBB developers, or just your opinion? I think that Modules (and plug-ins, like CAPTCHA plug-ins) should still be used where appropriate in phpBB (but that's just my opinion).

Not sure where you got that from. Using a module that encapsulates everything you need to do in the ACP is still highly encouraged. We're not looking to force every single extension to use events. Some don't need to use any at all. What we will enforce/require is that extensions should not need any edits to the core.

Think I saw it at phpbb.com somewhere, when I find it I will give you the link.
But what is the point, one event and this is possible with an extension, just upload, enable and ready.
If you don't enable this extension the functionality doesn't change.

But that's the same as with a module and you don't need an event. ;-) So this would basically be adding a next to useless event. The existence of modules is why the ACP, UCP, and MCP are not more widely extended. One can simply add a new module if they want to add new functionality. That is what was done in the 3.0 ACP user add MOD:

I really believe the strength of 3.1 Is the possibility to add extensions, plugins or whatever they are named. No more ftp'ing files and or changing files. No more adding modules, but just upload and enable and ready. Looking at our Upload Extensions, it's already more then 400 times downloaded. So I think people want to work this way, and because of that I don't think it's a useless event.

But a module is added by an extension... (like the auth plugins, cache plugins etc...)

Exactly. Installing one would therefore be done exactly the same way and by even using the now popular "Upload Extension" extension.
