--- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
> What if there is a user named "file"?
Then there's a potential looming disaster, because depending on how your apps
were programmed, when they try to save or delete such a file, they may end up
copying it into the "file" user's home directory (confusing and wrong) or
deleting the home directory entirely (utter catastrophe).

Such files are too dangerous and should not be named in that way. We already
warn against this in our new file creator dialog, and will soon make it
impossible to do anyway if the proposed name of the new file actually does
overlap with the name of an existing user's account.
