Should have been done years and years ago, at latest in summer 2015 when it was one of the things that came out the 3rd party software consultation.
For SNGs / tournaments - I don't see in general why it's necessary to show who's already registered in a tournament before it runs. Just remove that info pane from the lobby altogether - for all of them, not just HU.
Thinking out loud, one issue in policing all this will be off-site coordination by players. Whether blatant or soft. If the strongest HUSNG player in the .es pool tweets "going to be playing some $100 HU SNGs on @Pokerstars in 20 minutes, watch on Twitch!" and the others stop playing till he's gone then that's obviously acceptable but defeats the object a bit. Slightly more dodgy would be if they had tacit agreements about hunting at certain times. They can also just see who's playing and sit out if there is a strong player.
In more active pools then Sharkystator style coordination dripping the registrations in is the potential issue but IMHO policeable by technical means.
Or for example a 6-max SNG stake when there are 6 regs playing (as evidenced by SNGs starting with all regs) then the weaker regs may drop out to leave room for for a mark. What if they coordinate it with a Skype chat etc.

This.
