Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Sometimes, you need to register users without prompting them to enter a
 username. When importing data from a separate application, for instance.
 How about I change it as follows:

  - Require the username on signup
  - If username = email, allow user to edit it and refuse to save until he
 picks one
  - Once username <> email, refuse to edit username

 That way, we'd have the best of both worlds. Thoughts?
