I agree. In my scenario the community maps to a real-world community, so suspensions for things like abusive behaviour aren’t something we have to deal with.

Do you think there is a better way we could handle this using the existing infrastructure in core? Deleting/anonymising users is one option, but I don’t think that’s a good idea because it removes a lot of context from archived discussions.
