I'd say that nicknames are the biggest legacy issue. How long have people clamored for change, and how often have they been disappointed? We should have:
- The option to turn nicknames off;
- The option to increase or decrease nickname frequency;
- Nicknames coded like names, so that nicknames are linked to ethnicity;
- Nicknames made era-appropriate.
Anyway, that's my two cents --
