I have to disagree with that in this case.  We're probably going to be
using 2.2 here for a goodly while, and this change doesn't inconvenience
the default case, while making non-default cases DTRT.  I'm sure we're
not the only one that will be hanging out on 2.2 for a while, and I doubt
we're the only ones using non-standard username lengths (or possible
other such fields).  Seems rather win-win to me.
