Is there a snippet to remove usernames from comment classes?

I had a bunch of failed logins on a new site, with no posts, using my actual admin username (which is not admin or Administrator or anything guessable). I wasn’t sure how they figured my username out.

When I poked around a bit I noticed that comments have usernames in their classes:

<li id="comment-5" class="comment byuser comment-author-username bypostauthor odd alt depth-2">

This is a needless security risk, at least for people who don’t use ridiculously complex passwords like I do.

I get the idea behind it (styling comments per author is cool) but is there a snippet to just remove the username, instead of creating a custom comment template?
