Bug Description
'juju remove-user' does not actually remove the user, instead just disables it somehow. The user cannot be recreated, and instead a new username needs to be used.
This makes remove-user useless, as it should never be used because we are not prescient. If someone erroneously does run remove-user, the only way to recreate the user with the required username is to destroy and recreate the controller, or perform MongoDB surgery. Not being able to free the namespace is not an acceptable answer in most environments, as it will often be mandated by policy and other systems (eg. matching LDAP credentials so auditing tasks may be done).

Yes, this came up in bug 1668335, but it still an issue which prevents us from using users with Juju.
