https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2013-June/004432.html is the patch that was posted, which wasn't pushed. The patch is fine, but I reset the status to NEW because I've been working on the same thing in the GUI and I plan to tweak the check a little bit. For example, the username should also allow dots and non-initial hyphens.
