Remove local and replace it with something that does practically the same thing, but that requires you to put some effort in. Be it a module, a deployable or what have you.
Removing local without adding any new tools would be a disaster, CCP knows that which is why they're waiting until they have alternatives in place. You can't expect people to press "scan" 10 times a minute for hours on end just to avoid being killed by some random dude who only had to open the map and fly to the nearest blip. Not to mention how incredibly overpowered force recons would be with this change (specifically the Pilgrim). There'd be no way to tell if a pilot cloaked, safe spotted or completely left the system.
I would have an absolute field day if local was removed tomorrow without any new tools, but at the same time I know how horribly it'd affect all the other aspects of the game. Do it, but do it properly.

yeah fine you jump into a system. how the **** are you goign to know what to find? scan every belt?
Are you kidding? Right now I can jump into most systems and be on top of an npcer in under 2 minutes. Most systems you warp to maybe 3 planets and bang you've scanned every belt, it's really not that hard.

Wow removing local would be awesome. It would make EvE a really huge and scary place to be. It would be realistic. Maybe they could add a passive sensor alert that rings if ships get close to you as a heads up warning (Star Trek like etc).
You would actually maybe try to get in conversations with people you meet. It would tighten realtionships and make them more valuable.
Wars and Battles would gain an even bigger strategic and tactical depth (Hide reinforcements in nebulas, lure enemy fleets into traps).
Oh the possibilities.
Won't happen tho.
Eve is pretty hardcore, but it's not THAT hardcore either :-/
Sure, it'd open a lot of doors, but at the same time it'd close a lot of doors too. Say goodbye to ratting or mining in 0.0 or low sec space, say goodbye to travelling without a noob corp scout, say goodbye to most forms of risky fleet engagements (read: anything that doesn't involve sniping from 200km), etc.
