There is the problem that some users want and have different usernames in different wiki's. The only way to handle this is keeping all those 'lokal' users and first of all allow additional sigle-signon on the 'Master user DB' which should handle not only single-sign-on, but even all those lokal user accounts.
Couldn't we use the wikimedia.org domain name for handling user logins? That way a user only has to sign into their WikimediaOne login and will then be logged-in to every Wikimedia project and subproject.
But before that happens (and periodically after) we may want to flush out several thousand en.wikipedia user accounts that have been 1) idle for more than say 3 months and 2) have fewer than 10 total edits since the account was created.
That would free up many user names so that actual contributors can use them.
