Won't this have the same problem as linkedin, programmers will delist themselves when they started getting daily calls from desperate recruiters ?

Stack Overflow charges quite a bit of money for the right to search for candidates (plans range from $500 for one week access to $5000 for a year) so that should limit the number of inquiries.

Also, you can easily remove yourself from the search results.

In the financial sector recruiters can typically make around $50k for placing a single senior dev, paying an annual 5k fee is nothing
That probably happens with Stack Overflow anyway, but only people with the JobHunting bit set will come up in search results.
