There are many opinions here, including ones which sound like stating the 
priority for the
implementation. However, actually, no one can decide the priority. Thus, the 
answer to your 
question would be,

"When someone who can implement it notices that implementation of the display 
names is
important."

Personally, I, as a SL or virtual world roleplayer, will be very appreciated if 
we have the
display name in OpenSim-based grids. We don't need to use scripted titler, 
name-changer 
or like if we have it. Thus, it will reduce the total amount of scripts in a 
sim and green-characters!
I bet some people thinks it important as well. I doubt they are in this dev 
mailing list...

I wish I could implement it, but I'm now occupied with other matters than 
OpenSim project and
 can only act as a spammer buster in wiki.

At a glance of current codebase, it will first need to add a column to user 
table in each type of
database. Then, we can refer and update the value through common accessor. It 
might be a
bit more difficult than simple fix for script functions or physics calculations.

If you are deadly need to have this feature now, you might want to look for 
some "folks" project,
which may have already implemented it.
