Truncation is just a part of username normalization. Some other parts including
making the first character uppercase and replace underscores with spaces.
There're still other cases where "the user ends up creating a username that is
different from what they typed in".

And in practice, I saw some rename requests about 'I tried to create "foobar"
but the system gave me "Foobar" but I still want "foobar".' and after rejection
due to 'technical restrictions' they turn to say 'Then give me "FOOBAR"
please'.
