Comment (by dejliglama):

 Instead of moving data to a fake user "anonymous" - why not use the
 anonymizing functions on what ever user we anonymize, and instead change
 the ROLE of the user to anonymous.

 So what IS new in the system, is a role that has no rights what so ever.

 Doing it like this, you keep any data integrity between posts, and other
 data, since you don't move things arround.
