Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > currently, length of user_login and user_nicename fields are different
 and we set user_login as user_nicename if user_nicename is empty.
 > So we need to change length of user_nicename field into schema file.

 As noted above, there may be repercussions to changing the length of the
 field. I'd rather not do it. It's true that `user_nicename` is usually
 created from the `user_login` field, but let's enforce the truncation in
 code, rather than extending the field length.
