Hoi, Well it is. It is the exact reason why it is so unpalatable that is has been so long in the making. With time passing by, this problem has become worse. Thanks, GerardM

Hello,
Eliminating username conflicts with unified login might make it possible for a third-party script to count edits on every wiki, but unified login will apparently not combine contribution logs. "Single user login" does not mean "single crosswiki account per user"; this common misconception might be the reason it is documented as "unified login".
For more information on what unified login will actually be, see < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login >.
"Since the new system only allows one user per name, there are some cases where accounts will need to be renamed."
What a horrible idea. I sure hope that's not what unified login will actually be.
