By Osmose:

I meant to emphasize that this is a new way to determine __how__ users are created, not a new way entirely.

My point is that, instead of having both a way to change the username algorithm and a way to change the user creation algorithm, we should support just the way to change the user creation algorithm, as you can accomplish the goal of changing the username algorithm that way as well.

Less settings, more power. We encourage people to subclass the backend (or whatever we end up going with) rather than set the username algorithm if they want to change it.
