Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-06-15 05:51:12 UTC
since accounts can't be deleted, here's some alternatives (can be used together):
- add "DO NOT USE" or "OBSOLETE" to the names
- disable the account -- this prevents the acct from showing up in the autocompletion, but people can still type it out
- change the e-mail address to something like "dead+<oldname>@localhost.invalid"

the first can be done by adding yourself to the alias and requesting a password reset and then just making the change, but the latter two really need an admin to do it.

for a list of accounts to disable, see the bug dep list.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try doing that.
