Comment (by enposte):

 Surely it makes sense not to advertise your username to a brute force
 attacker.

 But as you pointed out, most users don't bother changing 'admin'. Perhaps
 there should be a way to rename 'admin' easily.

 I'll leave opening that ticket for you though, as I don't want to start
 another tinfoil hat alert.
