Hi Guillaume, IMO the XWiki.Admin user should not be any where, in any package since this could cause more trouble than it solve, like leaving an admin account unsecured, resetting password of the admin account, etc... IMO, this is the job of the DW to propose the creation of an admin account when appropriate and securing it properly immediately. So, if you go for this change, I think removing it would not require more work, apart from the DW adaptation and it could be adapted depending of the usage (workspace or farm). WDYT ?

I hope it doesn't cause any issue though. So all in all, +1 from me too. Now, should we do this for 5.2 (I'm talking only about the move and not the change for DW which can be done after 5.2). It's already late and this represents some risks… WDYT?
