This is definitely a huge pain point for me. My friend has the account name I want, is willing to give it to me, deactivated their account so it says "Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable." but there's no actual recycling happening for years and years. Why not recycle small accounts that have been deactivated? You could send a warning email to original owners so they have a chance to act on the name for their inactive account.
I think a year is more than enough for a deactivated account, and a few years is plenty for an inactive account. A simple email would let someone keep it if they want to.
