Description

Hi, we created a standard keybase user for our company name. But now that you have teams, that really should be a team name. What is the best way for us to change that over? Just delete the user account and then (quickly) register a team name? Or will it be more complicated than that?

Research direction

First clarify whether Keybase supports converting a user account into a team or requires a separate migration, including name availability and account preservation. Done should be a documented, agreed migration path or an explicit statement that the change is unsupported.
