So the display name appears above the user name, which means that display names have become glorified titlers, it would seem. Something which one can already do by creating a group and changing one's active role text to whatever. And a team developed this. A team of people. Spending development budget. Worked hard and diligently to create something which, at best, effectively does what one could already do, and at worst, will confuse people while doing it.
People complain that LL doesn't listen to its users... well this seems to be what happens when it does. This feature now reeks of "design by committee."
