Storing custom data in Meteor.users

[ffxsam]

The guide says:

The best way to store your custom data onto the Meteor.users collection is to add a new uniquely-named top-level field on the user document.

I thought it was encouraged to use the profile object, per the official docs?

Meteor.users.update(userId, {$set: {'profile.nickname': 'MegaBob'}});

No in fact there are multiple sections in the guide that say not to use profile. We should change the docs.

Oh shoot. And here I just misinformed someone. 😞 Thanks for the tip.
