Hi All, I'm pretty busy right now and don't currently have the time and motivation to finish this username max_length 254 change. If anyone wants to finish it up, the PR is nearly complete; it just needs better instructions on how to keep the limit at 30 characters for anyone who doesn't want the behavior to change.
