jibus commentedRe-open,
I think, it's better to leave it as an option.
For my case, i have some roles where the auto username does not apply (thanks to the hook_auto_username_name, see https://drupal.org/node/261211).
Two options :
- Add a option which allows the administrator to decide whether or not the filed should be hidden in profile page. The module Automatic Nodetitles works this way for example.
or
- Revert, and let the user implement the hook himself in a custom module.
What do you think ?

hydra commentedSince this is part of the modules description, I would not recommend to leave this as an "implement it on you own" option ;) Thats what contrib modules are for. However the proposal to add an option to disable this in particular use-cases, would be drupal-like.
@Jibus: Please open a new issue for that nad provide a patch if you worked already on this. Would be pleased to review :) This issue here is closed.
@alexkb: Thx for commiting :)
