Sure, I had seen this when I was doing the conversion but didn't take the time 
for the test conversion.  I can definitely do this for the real conversions.

The biggest disadvantage we have is that there will only be one name/email 
mapped to each username, so if a user changed their displayed name or email 
at some point in the past that won't be reflected in the logs since we don't 
keep this information.  Likewise, if a user's name/email is outdated that 
will show up in the logs as well.

If you'd like to review your settings before the conversion you can check it 
by visiting /members.html for your project (ie, 
http://PROJECT.mozdev.org/members.html).
