Add an optional $link param to theme_username to control whether name should be displayed as a link or just text. This will allow us to use theme('username', $object, FALSE) in core if we want to just show the textual name.

no longer applies. Small enough to leave in D6 issue queue though I think.

It gets linked based on permission to view profiles.

In what situation would you force it as text even for users with view permissions on profiles.

The situation would be, for example, if you wanted to theme a user's username as part of a page title (e.g in user module, contact module, etc). Instead of showing their username, you may want to theme it to display information from their profile data instead, and without this patch you'd be forced to use the generated HTML link.

This would be a useful feature. Subscribing.

I think the other way (#192056) of doing this would be a better route to go in the long-run, so I'm going to mark this as a duplicate.
