Comment (by Ipstenu):

 I swear I read it somewhere, or it was mentioned on IRC, but I can;t find
 where I saw it. Maybe I got that idea from Otto? (Blame Otto!)

 I think the UX loss is more important than mucking with user_login too,
 though. If there's no other check on sitename validations, we'll have to
 make sure something's put into place :)

 (I swear this came up when someone was kvetching that he couldn't name a
 site foo.bar for a subfolder site, since that gets wiggy with subdomains.)
