One thing we can do if the community approves is to only migrate names registered after June 8th if they were registered via faucet.bitshares.org.
There is no sense in allowing this squatter to bloat the genesis state for $100.
If you want to squat on all names then you can claim them *AFTER* BTS 2 has launched with new pricing.
I agree with fav - i.e. it's best to avoid changing the rules, however, it is aggravating to see someone doing this.
Which is the greater problem - bloat in the genesis state, or the fact that someone is squatting names?
Perhaps another option to consider would be to modify these names in BitShares 2.0, by prepending or appending something, like we are with the premium names? It'd be somewhat less harsh if we modify rather than omit the account names from BitShares 2.0.
edit: I do think it's almost a fundamental problem to retrospectively change the rules when dealing with blockchains. It goes against the grain of a large chunk of the philosophy, and can detract from people's confidence in the 'immutability' side of things. Can we therefore put something in place to prevent the problem from this point forward - some kind of restriction from now on, and let whomever is doing this keep what they have managed to grab up until now?
