You would think so, wouldn't you. But, if you look at the code, you'll see that what's passed in to the activation routine are two things: The username and the activation id.

Using the username, the code gets the userinfo BUT not all of it. It only gets what's in the user table. It doesn't get the profile fields. And, it never does a call to fetch_userinfo(). (Which would result in a query as well.)

If I weren't doing this as a plugin, I would have changed the query to do a left join and get the profile field stuff. But, I'm doing this as a plugin and can't change the query. Hence, the second query.
