This is more restrictive than before. Logged in users can only see profiles if the user is a member of a public/internal or common project?

This seems like an unnecessary restriction. Shouldn't logged in users be able to see any profile? Due to the way this works, it is more of an inconvenience than security. I just have to grant a user access to a dummy project I am a member of and I can visit their profile.

Was there a part of the http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/5374154-create-a-public-index-of-users-and-let-users-be-pu that specified this should happen? Did I miss that?
