It would be nice to have some procedure to go about deleting these dummy user accounts which will most probably never turn active.
I'm not sure how painful deleting old accounts are, but we are currently working on the capability for users (and administrators) to mark an account as inactive (which would prevent it from being used anywhere unless its password is reset). Right now, the main question is just how it will appear in the interface (vs. how things like fasClient will see it).
You also want to be sure any "deleted" account details get applied to all systems that may have been accessed by said account. Home dirs on various Fedora machines, directory permissions on any files owned by the now-deleted account, CVS ACLs, ... it's non-trivial to do so everywhere, but proper.
