This was already asked in an (unanswered) django-users question, and the
description there still holds, so I'll not repeat it:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-
users/user$20id$20password$20reset/django-users/6c8_Vfr8K1w/-TXJoVBM3poJ
I think most sites would prefer not to reveal how many users are
registered or the growth rate of that value, and this is the only place
that I know of where the user ID is exposed.
I suspect there is no way to fix the existing view/form in a backward-
compatible way, because of custom templates and 3rd party packages which
use this, like "djoser", but thought I'd raise the issue anyway.
