At the moment. There's good reasons why not[1] but those can be worked around if people come to consensus[2].
[1] Because it's a push system, you'd have to re-push all those posts from the new account and that's not even necessarily the same set of people they were pushed to in the first place, etc.
[2] e.g the re-pushing can be obviated by having servers rewrite their local copies of statuses to the new account ID on receipt of an "A is now B" message.
Obviously you'd need to make this unspoofable, etc., but the theory seems sound.
