I suppose the change is ok, but some old users with shared usernames
which are not unified will be forced to use a second username when they
currently are not and they're not disturbing each other, because each of
them is active only in a single language.
Old users are mostly inactive nowadays and new users must be preferred
over them, so we can live with it. Will bureaucrats be allowed to rename
users to globally "taken" usernames, as a last resort?
If you need an example consider the username I had on some it projects:
<https://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stalktoy/?target=Nemo>, mosly
registered before 2006. en, es, pl are still active and pl registered
his last pl account only two months ago.
