Username space is a resource that isn't growing and highly contested. But I'm sure that this practice is from when the resources weren't growing all that fast. It seems to me that most of the students will never use their accounts again. Most of them don't use their accounts for much while at MIT. Now that many people come in using AIM it's even worse. It seems neat and tidy to clean up some accounts, but perhaps one should be able to ask to keep it.
