We have guest accounts that have been in use longer than the lifecycle
of some DD accounts, so while it would technically work, it wouldn't be
a particularly nice solution.  (You can of course say that requiring
non-DDs registering on salsa to have a -guest suffix isn't nice either,
something I can agree with.)

I think we in practice will want to do that in order to avoid triggering
bugs in software that assumes that user names are consistent.

In case that was directed at me, rather than the wider world: I'm not
requesting you do one thing or another, I'm pointing out some possible
ramifications.

It's not clear to me why removing the -guest restriction has to happen
for sso.d.o to be using Salsa as an IdP, which seems to be your primary
goal?  That's my most immediate concern.  Switching to oauth2/OIDC seems
like a good idea, and assuming we can move to another broker somewhere
down the line, I have no problems with that happening.
