Can this be fixed?
Seems to be a sorely missing feature.

I can't be the only who handles all such management via CLI through SSH 
on the Linux side. I also have ~150 users I would like to change in 
this regard plus there are many times I'm adding multiple users, and 
using shell scripts makes this task rather easy.
