Comment (by mtparsons):
I would also like to chime in here, having just run into this issue. We
use a user's email address as their username and are running into a number
of complaints from user's who are unable to register because their email
addresses are longer than 30 characters. I realize that the proposed
solution is to use a custom user model, but as other posters above have
stated, that is not always a simple process and is a lot of work solely to
increase the length of a field.
