  because it’s too late at that point, which is the whole point and issue!

  A PR is when the discussion is supposed to happen. It’s an open source project, nothing happens “too late” to discuss. You see that change in the pull request, you can start moaning about it.

  if the field is necessary, but the data is useless, then it shouldn’t be there

  Who defines what’s “useless”? You? On what authority?

    the discussion happens right now, because i said so, because others are talking about it. and the data is useless when anything can be put in, it’s not used for anything, and it can’t be verified. it fails all three tests in gushing usefulness

      Why hasn’t the discussion started when realName was introduced?

      Someone may find these data points useful, for whatever reason. No point in being angry at a date field, mate.
