A recent comment by dang mentioned that some users request specific usernames that are already taken (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32133471 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32133471 ), and there was a bit of pushback and confusion about it.
I'd agree, the impact is minimal, but if you're an avid reader of the site, it's easy to start recognizing usernames if you're that sort of person. Situational for sure.
