Description of the change
Explain the implications of deleting the SSO account with regards to the username.
People commonly delete SSO accounts expecting to be able to reuse the username, only to find themselves stuck because they didn't delete or modify the associated Launchpad account (where the username actually lives) and they've just locked themselves out of access to those.
While the proper solution is more complex and involves the pending work on automated placeholder account deletion/renaming (and something we haven't designed yet for Launchpad accounts which do have content), I'm hoping this text will reduce the amount of bleeding and/or at least prompt people to ask *before* they delete the account.
QA instructions:
- Go to the /+delete page and confirm the additional text is shown. Can be tested either by running this locally or on staging once it's merged/deployed.
Thanks!
I've clarified instances of "account" to indicate we refer usually to the Ubuntu SSO account, added links to Launchpad ~ where appropriate and also added a link to the SSO page where the username can be changed.
