yes we need flexibility.
As I said the proposed prohibition seeks to prevent malicious behaviour and not to make our life difficult.
many people "mask" their usernames but they don't have malicious intention. Most of them use the same "mask" all the time.
If we can have a consensus that a policy regarding "masked" usernames is needed, we can start discussing the details and formulate the policy so that it will be flexible and will not make our life difficult.
Also, nobody will be "prosecuted" until the policy will be in effect. And of course the policy should be well-formulated in order to avoid misunderstandings and "prosecution" of non-malicious users.
How could we distinguish malicious from non-malicious behaviour with a formulated policy (i.e. without human judgement) ?

I think that a policy here would be inappropriate. Common sense is appropriate. Please, do not turn Wikipedia in something worse that french administration. Too many policies, kill the policies that really matter :-)
