Comment (by miahz):

 There needs to be some clarification in the UI wording and the
 functionality of post publish status vs. privacy status.

 Some discussion here:
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/197051?replies=6#post-867823

 If i make a new post, check 'Keep this post private' with the Publish
 Status left as Unpublished, then click the Save button, why does the
 status become Published? I didn't click the Publish button.

 To me, a draft/unpublished post is a different concept from a private
 post.  I would think that i could have a private post saved as a draft.
 When i finished writing, i could publish it, but it would be visible in
 the front end only to me.


 Otherwise, if the functionality remains as is, the 'keep private' option
 needs to be moved to the Publish Status dropdown menu, because truly it's
 a publish state.  It doesn't make sense as a separate option.
