[[Wikipedia:Usurpation]] is an extension of the user renaming process I've proposed, to meet the need I saw [[Wikipedia:Changing username/Requests to usurp|here]] (more than 54 requests, and it isn't even policy!). In a nutshell: "If an account has never been used for anything, let someone else take that account's name."
It has all the appropriate formatting and stuff mentioned in [[Wikipedia:How to create policy]] and it's been in proposal and discussion since at least April now (and was batted around long before I actually wrote the page); the overwhelming majority of the feedback has been positive. And the comments which have been critical or opposed generally are such because they believe that the "waiting period" in which the account to be usurped is notified to be too short - it should be longer than a month, should be a year/three months/etc.
In other words, I think consensus has for the most part been acheived, and that the last niggling bit is the exact length of the waiting period. We need more people to review it and settle on a time period, then we can send it off to Jimbo or whatever the next step is.
I've also made a request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Policies]] for more comments.
Thoughts? Comments? Expressions of effusive enthusiastic ecstatic enthusiasm?
