Preferable for the affiliation to be a variable linked to the username. It
can then be changed if/when applicable. Is should be possible to link a
string of affiliations to a username. User should be able to add
affiliations at will but probably should have to request to have them
removed

Removing the affiliation from the name itself and adding it as a group

the norm.
That sounds like a good plan, although would need to be a plan to cope
with duplicates, e.g. user:Whatamidoing and user:Whatamidoing (WMF) both
exist.
