This has been overdue for a very long time. We’re going to work on it this week and develop a plan to release old, no longer used names. We’ll post details after we finalize them. And don’t worry, we’ll ensure everyone gets a chance to log in if they want before we release the names so they can keep names they care about.
But at last…it’s coming.
