Not easily. It would certainly be *possible*, but you'd have to verify that
every possible "downstream" consumer of it supports changing it and then
actually implement it. This include both our own home-built systems (which
would probably be "most doable" since they are off the same blueprints, but
depending on exactly where else they store the username it could cause a
lot of issues) and things like our redmine installation.
UPDATE:ing the primary key in a distributed system has non-trivial
implications...
