     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This isn't a "test names with digits" test, but "test names begining
with digits" test.  Changing the username to not begin with digits
invalidates the entire purpose of the test which is to ensure that
xfs_quota can differentiate between UIDs and names beginning with
numbers....

So from that perspective, NAK.

IF there are distros not allowing usernames to start with digits,
then this test needs a _requires check and to _notrun on those
systems.

Cheers,

Dave.
