--- Comment #3 from Sean Flanigan <sflaniga at redhat.com> ---
Note that approx 99.999% of systems which attempt to pre-validate email
addresses (on the sign-up page) get it wrong, and disallow perfectly valid
addresses, because the programmer didn't expect to see a full-stop in an
address, for example.

We should implement a timeout for validation emails, and for deleting
unactivated accounts.

Note that the fix for this issue may require somewhat different handling for
external authentication systems.  With internal authentication, users can
always pick another username and try again with a different email address, but
with external authentication, the username is determined for them, so they
don't even have that option.
