Comment (by chriscct7):

 If the ability to change usernames, we'd need to make a
 transition_username function those plugins could hook into. However, we'd
 still be breaking older plugins that aren't updated or older installs of
 updated plugins. No good way around that except to do a full on database
 find and replace. There's plugins that do just that that are pretty good:
