Name changes affecting bans

With name change being a thing/becoming a thing, how will you guys handle it in the case of bans?

 

I'm not 100% sure that you guys ban by IP, considering proxies and universities/schools sharing IPs are a thing, so I would like to know, for a peace of mind, how you would go about handling it?

When you connect to a server, you send both your username and your UUID (universal unique identifier).  The UUID was added by Mojang as a way of keeping track of accounts, even if their names change.  MCBouncer will be updating to keep track of bans and notes using UUIDs instead of usernames, so changing your name will have no effect on your bans or notes.
