this is not a bug, it is the agreed expected behavior.

This is a bug as the current implementation is certainly not expected behavior. From a UX PoV the system should *always* inform the user that a contact is being automatically removed. the silent removal of a contact from a end users perspective will be interpreted as a system malfunction.. which obviously undermines their perception of the integrity of the system.

the behavior is conformant with the current specification.
