Let me be equally clear: yes, that's right.

Let me be clear - what you're saying is that a unique identifier has
been included in version 2.8 to uniquely distinguish a user, regardless of changes in name, but no specific method has yet been included to use
it.  Is that correct?

      Resolution: Fixed
   Fix Version/s: 2.8

I added the UID property to user profiles for this purpose in 2.7.0- svn-29. However, we are not using it strictly speaking for tracking just yet. There are probably places in the code where we ought to print UserProfile.getUid() to the log file, but that's a future thing that we'll do as it makes sense.

In the meantime, this bug is (strictly speaking) fixed.

No consistent means for maintaining a user's unique identity

           Project: JSPWiki
        Issue Type: Bug
        Components: Authentication&Authorization
  Affects Versions: 2.6.2
       Environment: All
          Reporter: Terry Steichen
          Assignee: Andrew Jaquith
           Fix For: 2.8


Now that we've modified JSPWiki to allow users to change not only their Name but also their login name, I don't see any way for JSPWiki administrator to keep track of users over time. For many reasons of administration, billing, user behavior management, I think there should be some way to unambiguously identify a particular user, no matter how often they may change their profile.
