Using a view that retrieves basic info for all users regarless of status is the right thing to do when showing a list of objects with their owners.
Generally on any system a list of registered users will be too long to display, see the original permissions page for a wonderfully bad example.
Besides that, we probably want to make the type of operations that use cc_users to display a list of users to be restricted to a subsite to make them more reusable.
