Hello All, Since username length is going to increased from 30 to 254 (PR #5497 <https://github.com/django/django/pull/5497>), I personally think first_name and last_name field length should be increased as well. Practically many first names are of length > 30, this is quite common in southern India (https://www.quora.com/Why-are-South-Indian-names-often-long). IMHO these fields should be increased to 254 as well.
