Hi All, I was reminded by: Allow shadowing of abstract fields https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/6zUfnElOIks/8uwXji559EsJ and https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24288 (Custom User Models for small tweaks).
Could we reopen https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20846 and increase User.username max_length to 254? Personally, that's the only thing I've ever needed to change about my User class. I just need it long enough to hold email addresses. I've seen many other people wanting the same thing. In 1.8 we migrated the length of EmailField from 75 to 254, so it should be almost™ as easy to change the username field. If needed, we could keep the 30-character limit on UserCreationForm and UserChangeForm for backwards compatibility. The limit in the database is the real killer :) Though, consistency is also nice.
