When you follow the rules, the tools work. When you break the rules, the tools break. glibc developers are not gods and they do not have the power to change the fact that 8 characters is the rule. Increasing the size of some username buffers inside glibc is meaningless at best. At worst, it encourages people to create usernames that will break dozens of standard tools.
