Pilots flying VFR are responsible only for seeing and avoiding other aircraft, and are not even prohibited from entering busy FAA control zones...
Sheer necessity will no doubt soon mother the invention of improved alphanumeric systems. Necessity will also spur the development of fully automatic landing techniques, of collision warning systems, of more effective ways to control aircraft flying under visual flight rules.
