This isn't important here, but I find it interesting, so:

While you're right that it's wrong in this case (should be user's), some styles of written English (Chicago, Strunk and White, others) do allow for unconditionally adding the "'s" - which means that "users's" is not always incorrect (though again, it's wrong here).  There isn't agreement about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Singular_nouns_ending_with_an_%22s%22_or_%22z%22_sound

Since it seems like we're going to be respinning this anyways... Mind acking this Filip? I'll put it in the next build.
