No, not without editing router.php and changing how SEF links are constructed and translated.

My client is not happy with this as it exposes usernames, even when they are hidden (though first-lastname for example may well not be unique).
A nice (and thereby more secure)feature is something like facebook/linkedin where you can select your preferred link name endpoint. e.g.
www.facebook.com/move2gozo
. Presumably it just does a validation check to ensure it is not in use already. If not in use, then a random value is generated instead, so as not to compromise the privacy of the username.
Is this something that can be included in a future release?

You can already have this. Facebook logs in by Email, not username. Set CB to login by Email only in CB > Configuration > General. Now set Username to be changeable within CB > Configuration > User Profile. You now have exactly the same login usage as Facebook and the Username will basically only be used for display purposes.
