THIS. But yeah, I get that some people might want privacy so it's not that big of a deal. My suggestion here would be to keep add a "previous names" section for the people that were on your friend list at the time of name change, BUT ask the namechange requester whether they'd like to keep the name change private. If so, the friend list will then be wiped out (silently or publicly). If not, the friends will be notified and then be able to see the person's previous names in /info or some such.
Alternatively, perhaps we can get a UCP for these kinds of things?
