Why "unset USERNAME" in .bash_profile?

Hello,
I would like to know why in FC2 and FC3 there's this command in the
default .bash_profile:
unset USERNAME
I googled for it, and didn't find any reference to a USERNAME
environment variable, and I didn't find any process that sets it before
the shell is started to unset it in .bash_profile...
Does anyone know what is it? Why is it being unset? Is there a reason to
keep it? Or can I just ignore it and use the .bash_profile I used to
have in other distro's?
Thanks!
Branden
