I think it is because the REVOKE command is for stopping some user PRIVILEGES and not removing the user from the system.
In fact we always tell MySQL to REVOKE some/all rights from some/all databases. We don't tell it to remove the user or change his/her PASSWORD. Maybe MySQL should implement a REMOVEUSER command.

I've noticed that if i use REVOKE to revoke all privileges from that user, mysql does not delete the register from user table, but denies every permission for that user. What if i want to delete a user from user table? Should i delete it manually? is that safe? > > > > > > > Yes, you should delete user manually.
