it has come up several times. Large full-community involved threads. Can't think of the search terms right now but general consensus has been to leave it as is. And that if you don't want it you can disable names in your save.
If the players are blatantly going against their win-condition/confirmable info to help their friends then you can report that.
Generally it's a double-edged sword though - sure some people might be more likely to protect you cuz they like you out of game - but some others might be more likely to try to kill you cuz they dislike you. So i don't really agree it's a general advantage. I do agree with your sentiment that it goes against the general idea of the game but it's also like - how would you even enforce that, really? It's not just names - there are people you can immediately identify who they are just based on how they type and it's not like there would be any way to police that. The community being small and tight-nit is just naturally going to lead to players recognizing each other.
