The message includes instructions to rename an account, but what happens if a user unifies all accounts having the same name now, after this announcement. I've heard someone say that their account is still listed on 'Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed' after they unified their accounts. Will their newly SUL'ed accounts be messed up in the April SUL finalisation?
If you are connected to an SUL account, you will not be renamed. I filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93044 for automatically updating the special page once this happens.
