No you didn't. I only found a few occurences of reading the ScreenName parameter in acs-subsite, that's it.

Isn't the whole point of the user_display::get_name that it gets used _everywhere_ instead of displaying the column values directly, which means it needs a lot of replacing in all existing packages, including some kind of audit to make sure there is no place left where the privacy rules are not obeyed?

Do the patches you are planning to commit contain such changes to packages or are they just the api?

using user_display::get_name would also allow us to use the name display for countries where they read from right to left ($last_name $first_names).
