I'm not sure it is even desirable?
There are 2 differents concepts:
- logins with a user name, password...
- sysids which is really an int.
a login must have a sysid, but a sysid may or may not correspond to a
login.
As it is implemented, the privileges belong to the sysids.
This give the opportunity (let's call that a feature) to recreate
a deleted user that would reclaim its previous status wrt priviliges.

Although that could be done, I'm not sure I would like such a thing
to happen.
