Ewwww! Point well taken! Thanks, @boonebgorges

I guess a good solution would be to find a plug-in that lets you “replicate/migrate” an existing user’s xprofile contents to a a new user then you can delete the original user.

Fortunately, I’ve only had to deal with this situation one time and, although i thought it might be more problematic, it hasn’t so far.
