from just this.
I'm a little nervous about:
- firstn...@lastname.com domains
- m...@name.com domains
- b...@companya.com clashing with b...@companyb.com
...especially for something like kernel.org.
Is there any data supporting the assertion that conflict is low?
I would suggest some sort of fallback/uniqueness detection, but I can't
think of any way to do this in an efficient manner.
Yeah, good point. This needs a little more thought. I'll drop for now
and revisit in a future, separate change.
