Based on the answer to this question it appears that the recent Careers 2.0 Profile email was directed at the "customize public view" feature. I would like to formally request that this feature be retained, because I happen to like it - I appreciate the control it gives me over my privacy.
For those who don't have access to or do not use this feature: it allows you to hide pieces of your Careers profile from public view, such as location, employment, or educational history.
