Re: Can I change the restriction on "username" without breaking anything?

Thanks David! I was wondering about doing the same thing! I had not
thought of your idea of soft-switching the login name from username to
email. Interesting idea. I was toying with making my own class +
auth backenend so I could change the DB layout to drop email. But I
could see that having issues in places that expect an email field....

I'm going to setup a spike of your idea this morning and see how it
goes.

One wrinkle I can see is the contrib.auth.forms has a regex filter on
username that prevents the "@" symbol. Although I have to go see if
the Admin system over-rides that anyway - I think it does.

If anybody else has a clever idea, I'm listening!

Thanks again all!
