Comment (by Sam Reynolds):
Sorry Carlton. Had I been paying attention to the ticket, I might have
saved you some pain. I saw the issue with swapping out the field/widget
when making the change.
My rationale for sticking with the simpler option was that we can rely on
the authentication process to ensure the max length of a username. After
all, if the entered username is longer than the `max_length` of the user
model, it can't be a validusername!
