The whole point is that getting the “username” will **never** be solved in
a platform independent way.
Discussion about whether or not boxes are “misconfigured” when this
happens are pointless. In my view is an error making Django depend on
this.
One fix is to not try default to a username, another fix is to be more
flexible in recovering from possible decoding errors.
Both are better than doing nothing. Or doing what is currently done:
starting up a debate on how a ticket should be phrased and then doing
nothing again.
Good luck!
