matrix-org/synapse#7096 added support for disabling setting a displayname/avatar in synapse, but there is no way to communicate this to the client. Ideally this feature should be part of the spec, whereby it is signalled in /capabilities

I'm not sure this is a good fit for capabilities. Please open an MSC.

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#m-change-password-capability exists though :p

that is a capability that exists, and it serves a different purpose. An MSC would be a great place to discuss.

This is now part of the spec since v1.2 with MSC3283 and #3614.
