.@mlaundrie I have no doubt Apple intended this. Like the ~/Library folder, there's usually little reason for folks to muck about in /Users

@DaveHamilton @mlaundrie @donmcallister Odd that some still see /Users folder in 10.9.3 as reported by @theloop http://www.loopinsight.com/2014/05/16/in-os-x-10-9-3-many-users-experiencing-a-hidden-users-folder-heres-a-fix …

@spsheridan @mlaundrie @donmcallister @theloop My guess is the folks who still see it already mucked with xattr previously.

@DaveHamilton @mlaundrie @donmcallister @theloop Will an xattr change stick across OS X upgrades?

@spsheridan @mlaundrie @donmcallister @theloop Yup. My ~/Library folder has always remained visible, even before they added the UI checkbox.

Regarding /Users having been hidden in 10.9.3: “@mlaundrie: Called Apple about this, and was told it was intended behavior.”

@DaveHamilton @mlaundrie I haven’t seen on my two systems so buggy if intended. And buggy if not. :)

@tomfanderson @DaveHamilton just called by Apple, the change is caused by the iTunes update that came out at the same time

@mlaundrie @DaveHamilton Thanks. I have a ticket open with AC Enterprise support. Will let you know if they have any addtl info.

@tomfanderson @mlaundrie @davehamilton It looks like it's tied to Find My Mac. Enable it (or if already enabled) and /Users vanishes.

@rtrouton @mlaundrie @DaveHamilton Can confirm that enabling Find My Mac did cause /Users to be hidden on my iMac. Disabling did not unhide.

@tomfanderson @rtrouton @DaveHamilton Wait, Apple lied to use? I'm shocked iTunes 11.2.1 fixes User folder issue
