Recurring Learning plans for REMOVED users, should messaging still go out?

Summary

REMOVED users are still assigned to LPs and therefore when recurring LPs message, they get it.

If a user's status is REMOVED, shouldn't that stop messaging from going out?  The removed user is not listed in the [Users] tab of the learning plan but when you do a add/delete users, you see all the removed users as well.  And, my general training account is included in the message so I'm getting emails for removed status members.
