Comment (by krogsgard):

 Winging it a little bit, but from what I can tell, changing `show` to `''`
 and then adding `display_name` to the fields to return in `get_users`
 doesn't have any repercussions in core. And then, if someone has specified
 what to show in their usage of `wp_dropdown_users`, it'll still operate
 that way. But if they don't, it'll show the display name with the username
 in parenthesis.

 One small potential downside is if it's used on the front-end and they
 don't want the username to show... but that's pretty mild in my opinion.
 Usernames are easy to find and not worth obfuscating.
