fyi they never actually implemented that "purge inactive accounts" thing. I remember people bringing up the issue of dead people's accounts being deleted/taken over, but idk if that was why they shelved it.

That was something different. Deactivated accounts do get deleted and their names made available after 30 days just like it warns you when you deactivate.
That's good to know, thanks. Although, I will probably still log in periodically, just in case they ever do decide to implement that policy.
