Comment (by boonebgorges):

 What is the purpose of the "extra security" check? What's the scenario
 we're protecting against? (Obviously, cases where the activation_key
 doesn't match. But when does this happen? Is it when a plugin is
 interfering in the registration process? If this is the case, what is the
 danger of deleting the user account, given that user_status=2 *and* the
 signup ID has been passed to the `delete` method? Just trying to get a
 grasp on the point of having the check in the first place.)
