I'm sure I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem, but I'd like to take a name that is currently owned by a restricted account. Because of how restriction works, we don't know how long ago it was, how long ago they recently played on their restricted account or even if they had more than 10 plays on their account. This is a bit of an annoyance at worst but it's still something that seems like an oversight.
The current osu! naming policy says that accounts can have their name taken through a bunch of different situations (which includes a fancy graph and plenty of rules) which is why it seems like a bit of an oversight to have the currently rules not have anything for restricted accounts' names.
I could only think of a few downsides, but they are likely easy to fix through simple solutions anyway. Things like cheaters coming back and having their original names, or the new account owners having the "history" of the cheater behind them. These are things very easily taken on a case by case basis.
I think a second look at this issue would open a ton of names up for the community, especially because most of the people banned a long time ago likely have rarer names than most.
