Can we seriously change this "User formerly known as" bollocks?

Yes but if someone has a good reason for changing it within that time frame we'll allow it, so in some circumstances a user might have multiple names per year.

If they have a good reason for changing it, shouldn't the change be anonymous?

I could understand if one was abusing the system, but do you not have your own implements in place to ensure that one must provide a good reason to allow a name change outside of the 365 day rule?

Therefore, I fail to see to what you are referring since there is no reasoning behind it.
