 Cool, then we could just remove the current Name field and add a Username
 field. It should be a separate field since in the past we stored names,
 and we don't want to mix names and usernames in the database.

 That sounds good, because even if we require a username now, there are
 still older posts that will have a name instead.

 I wonder if it'd be confusing to have it link to two different places,
 though? Especially since it probably won't be obvious to the user why or
 when a given destination will be chosen? Maybe just don't link to anything
 if they don't give us a username? I guess that also wouldn't be obvious
 why or when it changes from link to no link, so maybe that's no better?

 Have you had a chance to look and see if there's a good way to verify if
 the username is valid? If not, I think it's ok leave that part out for v1,
 and just assume that it is.
