Precisely.  The users won't ever be getting shell access (they don't need it),
so it's pretty much pointless to give them a bin, etc, and home directory.
Additionally, it makes it particularly burdensome to create new users quickly.
Of course, I could work with an adduser script and have all sorts of
skeletons, but it's a bit of overkill simply for uploading.
