It will, the existsing functuons will give a name that users of the new 
viewers have no possibility to see, unless they use a script. Thats 
something totally different that the username today is. The name will 
have changed it definition. As by that the think the functions return 
have changed. It's no longer a unique name you can use to tell users 
around you who a person is. It's a hell of a change in use case.
