I must say that i totally agree with this. If i get a request that doesn't fit the idea of the original hack, or would make the core hack unneeded difficult/heavy, or would only be used by a few users, then i would deny that request. (You can even check on some of my hacks where i have done this).

Also hacks should try to rely on basic standard vB settings. If there is a standard setting to limit the username length (and there is), and my hack would not follow that 'rule', i would change my hack to follow the limits set by standard vB (i didn't have time to double check yet). If it does follow the standard settings, but a second limit for usernames set by my hack was requested (as it seems here), then i will deny that.
