When users are created manually (from Admin->Users->Add User), all the auth plugins appear in the list.

IMO, only enabled plugins should be displayed.

There are other missing checks too - this was intentional, I think it can be sometimes handy, voting for "Will not fix"

Please re-open, this causes lots of problems for our users - users should not be able to assign people to auth types that are not enabled via the GUI, this is very confusing for users and I really can see no reason to show auth types that the admin has not enabled or have turned off.

Only admins may use this script - why do you say "users", this script does not have any safety implemented intentionally - because it is intended for any (even unexpected) account modifications. I certainly can imagine cases when you want to change user auth type and also create new users with disabled auths.

The main problem is we must not remove features in stable branch, I am sure soon there would be somebody complaining we removed something useful for him.

I think technically it would be best to add a new, much more restricted "add user" page.
