How will djs handle bot tags, since they're not switching to the new username system?
I read on the Discord dev server that they decided not to switch bot users over to the new username system (yet), and they abandoned the idea to give all unverified bots a random username for now.
Does this mean .tag can still be used for bot users? Two systems being used at the same time confuses me, because it seems we'll have to continue using deprecated features to show the differences between bot usernames. So can .tag and .discriminator still be used for bot users, or will .globalname function like .tag does for bot users?

• What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

Yes, I read that first. But what about bot users?

As far as I'm aware they'll continue to have both a username and discriminator for now
So .tag will be deprecated before bots switch over?

Alright, thank you. I guess I'll need to check whether a user is a bot or not before getting their username for now

If my bot is called bot#1234, wouldn't User#username return just "bot"?
