I'll respectfully disagree...
It is NOT how 1.1 was designed. There IS a bug! CB 1.1 is able to respect your initial setup just not changes you make to it.
So if I choose not to publish something (when I initially set up my fields) I see an Icon telling me
"This Field IS NOT visible on profile", but the registration screen still collects the data, and if it is required it forces the user to supply it.
If you change some required field from published to unpublished the registration screen no longer even gathers it. Also I cannot see the field in the admin console...
I should be able to switch from published to unpublished and have the registration icon switch from "This Field IS visible on profile" to "This Field IS NOT visible on profile". I cannot. I should see the field in the admin console regardless.
Again, remember if I initially setup the fields as unpublished and required CB works as desired.

Now marking a published field to have the property Profile=Yes will allow the field to appear in frontend (if it has a populated value in it). If it also has the property Show on Registration = Yes, then this field will appear during registration and it will also show up in the profile.

On Joomla 1.5 w/CB 1.1
Suppose you create a field titled 'address' such that 'Required' = true, 'Profile' = true, 'Registration' = true, and 'Published' = true.
If your 'whiny' users complain about your publication of the 'address' field and you change this field to 'Published' = false then it disappears completely. Thus admins looking for this field in the admin console under 'User Management' Cannot see the entries for the existing users. The users cannot see their own address to update it, and new users cannot see it in the registration screen to satisfy the initial requirements! The only positive thing is users cannot see this field for other users...
