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
Well, there's always a chance that the whole concept is just going to be dropped, right? Does anyone actually care about unified login, as defined (having the same username on all wikis)? I know a lot of people care about the things which are supposedly dependent on unified login, like having unified contribution lists, and unified preferences, and unified talk page notification, but none of these things are actually dependent on unified login (if defined as having the same same username on all wikis).
Isn't it a GFDL violation to change someone's username (and thus their entries in the history section) without their permission?

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.
