So the idea is that it is easier to guess the email address than the uid which 
is supposed to provide extra security?

(Actually the security should be gained by a hard to guess password(*) instead 
of a hard to guess uid/email-address!?)

(*) I would prever a patch which helps to enforce strong passwords compared to 
the feature to "disable email-address" for login.
