Will Facebook Give Away Vanity URLs in a Landrush?

While some businesses working with Facebook have been able to get a Facebook vanity URL for some time now, rumors are surfacing that Facebook may soon open up vanity URL registration to any user who wants one in a first come, first served land rush.

Under such a system, users would be able to get URLs like facebook.com/mark for their own personal profiles. (However, some of the most common first names are already taken.)

Administering such a landrush would be a significant challenge.
