  I had forgotten about this vote. I'm not
against using a special
 'system' user, but as Denis pointed out, we also have to think about
 how this will be displayed in the UI (including localization). Until
 we have this I'm -0. 
 Don’t forget that we’re already using that for all xclasses initialized by
 java code. 
Those are hidden documents that you rarely get to see. It's still not
nice but at least it's not very visible. While this

"Installed by superadmin."

will be visible whenever you look at the details of a XAR extension
installed by default (e.g. the Blog application).

...
  I don’t see why “superadmin” is not a good display
name for now (till we
 introduce another System user). 
Will a non-English speaker understand it? And even for those that
understand English it's gibberish, a technical identifier.

Thanks,
Marius
