Comment (by Ipstenu):

 It can (and is) causing conflicts with plugins that check for post
 authorship.

 Removal or reallocation should be an option, and then... some way to
 associate gone-authors? This may be a messy roles problem. Like we need a
 'no-role' role for ex-writers? So they can't edit their old posts.

 Ow. I have given myself a headache.
