You can't just do away with either of the two fields - the best you might do 
is to add in an automatic action that sets a user's username to their email 
address whenever the address is set or changed. You would do this by creating 
an auditor which watches the user class for create or set operations, and 
does the fiddling. You would also want to remove the username field from the 
user.item template. See the customisation doc for info about both of these 
things.
