Comment(by asbjornu):

 What's the plan with applying this patch? There was mentioning of
 including it in 2.9, but that obviously didn't happen and now it's set to
 "Future Release". Does that mean it will be included in a dot release of
 2.9 or do we have to wait until 3.0 to see this implemented?

 I'm having lots of customers that would love to just eradicate the user
 name from all registration and login forms, but at the moment that
 requires a heap of custom code fiddling, core file patching and whatnot.
 Having this supported in the core is very, very welcome!
