We've kicked similar ideas around here before. I had suggested that, as a user selectable alternative the the text message Traffic Alert, the Traffic RADAR popped up instead, and a tap would dismiss it.
Plus a lot of other interesting ideas. Most newest, I was thinking that the map layer could change to Vector (where it's easier to see the traffic.) A couple flights ago, I had about 10 targets around me during departure. It was like threading a needle, and really hard to find everybody in the VFR Mode.
Previous to that, I had proposed an Emergency like Text Alert icon, there, instead of text about where traffic is, you got an icon that pointed to where the traffic is.
