Agreed. The best approach would be to rename the user to some kind of "username-removed" and block it indefinitely.
This discussion around deleting/renaming got me thinking. Is a history kept of user renames?

The main problem with deleting users is that it breaks all of their contributions. Every contribution is made by a user - I don't know if the code could handle that user not existing.
