Not all my users have email, some have more than one email. Since an email is just a bit of contact info, I don't have it as a field in user. I have it as a related table so users can have multiple. This keeps confide from being useful to me and anyone else who didn't tie email address to user identity.
The most egregious evidence of this is
because I can't look up a user by email. This change set adds the primary key for the user to the password reset table.
and so now the user is looked up by primary key instead of by email. There are a few more changes around making email optional in the database when generating controllers and database tables and there is more support for using username (although this isn't necessarily unique in my system either).
