 > per westi's suggestion, whether we should allow users to pick a
 user_login when none is present
 If one is auto-generated from the email.. Nah.. well.. Not unless every
 user can change their usernames - Which would be a nice feature, But
 permalink history'ness and all that..

 My main question is:
  * What happens when a user changes their email, Does their user_login
 change to reflect it? IMO, It should stay static, So that behaviour will
 need to be documented for developers who may rely on it for internal
 systems/custom integrations.
