[Haskell-cafe] Hackage accounts and real names

I note that in some jurisdictions there is no such thing as a "real" name.
You can change your name for legal purposes (on official documentation and
so forth) simply by asserting that this is the name you prefer to be known
by. Your legal name doesn't have to be the same as your everyday name
(mine isn't).

What matters is continuity of identity and the ability to link your
identities across the places you participate.

Tony.
