Nothing short of -blam!- brilliant.
I assume they would be able to keep their stats and history upon signing up again? The stats would be tied to email and password, not their username. That's what we need! Stats and history tied to Windows Live ID and not Gamertag accounts. Then we could have a system similar to that.

They might be able to do something like Riot does with LoL. Every year they sweep through their system and remove the names accounts that have been inactive for a specified amount of time. The owners of these accounts can still log in at any time in the future, but they'll be prompted to make a new name upon doing so.
Yep, in Riots system accounts and summoner names (essentially gamer tags) exist separately. So an account can exist without a "gamer tag" in their system and retain all of its stats, information, ect. and if someone who owns that inactive account decides they want to sign in at some point in the future they're prompted to create a new name for their account.
