All users do not come from public registration, it's currently not easy to differentiate user sources. Apart from /manage and /admin where do you see it editable ?

That was mostly a comment about the /manage/ page. In our current configuration it's especially treacherous to let the admin change usernames as they're used as federation key.

The problem is storing the uuid in the username, that's not its place; any field should have only one semantic whatever the user. Work on access control contains a new user class with an uuid field, in the meantime we should live with this problem.
To ease manipulation of registrered user I advise using the A2_REGISTRATION_GROUP setting with a default value of "Online registration". It automatically adds registered to a group named "Online registration". If we need to migrate those user to a new uuid storage in the future it will help.

I set target release to future as for now it's not fixable.

It's fixed by the custom user model, uuid is now stored in a different field.
