I'm sorry, i myself have done a few patches to catdap, i know it's there,
except, i heard that cn was planned to be used as a concatenation of givenName
and sn; which i could understand as a fill-in default, but not really forced.
What i meant more, is to have a "display Name" thing during registration, more
visible.

AFAIK, i think from reading founders meetings, this is planned to be rolled
out on a step by step basis, iirc founders/council has it, and it was planned
to be rolled out at least to the "recognised peers" of each team.
