However, such issues have not been completely eliminated, either. It's not
that big of a burden for folks who administer large numbers of Koha databases
to simply create accounts from the CLI.
I'm a +1 one for getting rid of the database user. If not that, at the very
least we should stop exposing the database credentials that way and do
something like putting in a new koha-conf.xml setting for username and
(hashed!) password of a base superlibrarian "account".
