Wouldn't a subdomain make it harder for people to set up on their own servers? 
We're already requiring people to do some Python set up, but DNS as well? 
Unless I'm missing something and this is easy to set up in a variety of hosting 
environments... IMHO, /u/username seems like a simple, safe way to go.

If subdomains were to be an option, they at least shouldn't be a default 
option. With WordPress MU, for example, you can do the subdomain setup, but it 
works with subdirectories as well for simpler environments.
