In the past a rename of an offensive user name would have been appropriate, but
this is not the case anymore. Now we have to deal with SUL. When renaming a SUL
account locally, it is detached, but the SUL account still exists, which
results in two accounts for the same vandal.
Hence, I agree to the proposition of giving CUs the hideuser right. This right
is independent from all other oversight rights. In addition, as already
mentioned, the needs of a wiki depend on the size. Many wikis who have CU's
don't have oversighters, whereas the hideuser right is part of the job to
finalize a significant deal of CU requests.
