 The way Trac works is not at all obvious to many, and I wouldn't concern
 yourself with it in all honesty (I wasn't at all responding to your
 comments above)

 Customising Trac is highly awkward, and not at all obvious sometimes.

 To hide a field in the way that's required, actually means disabling it.
 Disabling the field will cause creating tickets with the field to fail.
 The `cc` field is used on themes.trac for a purpose, to work around a
 'bug' in our Authentication/Users implementation.

 The Plugin we use to customise certain parts of Trac (namely fields),
 allows setting a permission, but only a WRITE permission, we can't control
 who can read it.

 We can customise the HTML template, but that doesn't remove the field from
 Emails, API, and feeds.

 So.. To remove the field, we first need to cease setting the field, to
 cease setting the field we need a way to update the Trac users database,
 once we cease using the field we can remove the field from display.
