So the PDS software that hosts "bluesky" accounts has a built-in list of banned account names. It includes both names an admin would want to reserve for themselves ("admin", "staff", "test") and noteworthy Twitter handles that presumably they wouldn't want impersonators to grab ("arianagrande" "jairbolsonaro"):

https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/b07950682c51b1aa2216958178aa4eae437846e6/packages/pds/src/handle/reserved.ts

But, interestingly, this banned names list
- Is also live with third-party servers
- Also applies to the command-line administrator scripts? There's no override?
