Has anyone traced down an explanation of the (presumably security-vuln-related) thing that was going on, motivating the original restriction?
I would think it would be public now, with the restriction removed, but maybe not?
It does seem like an unfortunate UX to exclude the lastnames of millions of people as usernames.
