Comment (by allendav):

 Also worth considering - if we anonymize a user's posts away and then
 remove that user (not unlikely for a right to erasure request), wouldn't
 we lose the existing core ability to reassign that user's posts to an
 existing user?

 This probably bears further consideration before adopting.
