That said, I'd find it mildly useful as an optional feature (i.e. a
'public/private membership' flag for custom groups).  One of my main
reasons for not setting up a default view in the last year or two has
been the lack of transparency - if people on my default view (and people
not on it) could see their on/off status (if I'd ticked the 'make
membership of this group visible' checkbox) then I might have made one.

(I did consider making a post listing who is on the filter, but that's
push rather than pull, and seemed more likely to start tedious
meta-discussions)

On the whole though, the default behaviour should be to keep such info
private, and if there's only one behaviour then that should be it.
