You can go back and find the posts if you want, but it was definitely conceded that it would be a source of possible targeting by both sides.
It was also discussed that possibly "stand in" randomized characters could be generated for placeholders with generic names. None of it would be relatable to you other than your position in that world on that server. Removing all "misrepresentation' relation to your character.
IF it's put in, super huge IF, the people who don't want it will just have to put up with it as many others have done with other features and items they didn't want in. This is how things seem to work. While making everyone happy would be nice, that's just not possible with a feature like this.
All it says is that there is quite a bit of discussion about it. It's also a LOT of the same people posting. However I can see the same pattern repeating over and over again. Assuming something won't be implemented just because there's people against it will disappoint you quite a bit. Even with outcry there have been many things SE has simply done and left.
