----------------------------------------

Andrew, didn't you add the UID in 2.7 trunk just for this purpose?  Can this be closed?

For many reasons of administration, billing, user behavior management, I think there should be some way to unambiguously identify a particular user, no matter how often they may change their profile.

OK.  Feel free to close at your discretion ;-)

That's exactly right. I did add the UID property to user profiles for  
this purpose. However, we are not using it strictly speaking for  
tracking just yet. There are probably places in the code where we  
ought to print UserProfile.getUid() to the log file, but that's a  
future thing that we'll do as it makes sense.

In the meantime we can close this issue, I think.
