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,

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 <

"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.
