 * Hi,
 * Thanks for a great plugin.
 * Currently I’m working on a project, that required to delegate ‘manager’ user 
   group to manage users of particular groups (add / edit). I can perfectly achieve
   it, by using ‘editable_roles’ hook, to restrict some roles such as ‘administrator’,
   making it unavailable for ‘manager’ group.
 * I’m also planning to add user import function for ‘manager’ role, and tested 
   your plugin for this purpose. However there are some problems.
 * Dashboard import page shows only the roles, that I restricted via ‘editable_roles’
   hook, not allowing to choose administrator. But, adding ‘role’ column to CSV 
   with ‘administrator’ value, still allows to create administrator account. Another
   issues – ‘manager’ can export all users, including administrators as well, or
   can update administrator account while importing, replacing admin email value.
 * Would be great if your plugin had an additional check on available ‘editable_roles’,
   while performing tasks that I described above.

 * What you suggest here would be a security problem. We can’t create an admin user
   from someone who is running WordPress without being an admin. We use the core
   hooks so that the security measures are the same as in the core and we never 
   assume a security breach in the installations.
