Comment (by boonebgorges):

 >  I'd still like something, as right now it's pretty unusable with
 duplicate display names.

 Yes - I think there's agreement that this should change in most core uses.
 The issue is that we shouldn't change the default behavior when used by
 third parties. So, whatever new parameter we go with, we would change some
 or all of the core uses of `wp_dropdown_users()` to use it.
