When user creates a new node, "Revision information" is open by default. I think this is a usability issue because it will confuse users.

Can't reproduce this in Drupal 6.12 so I am presuming this has been fixed since 6.6.

For content types that have "Create new revision" enabled, the "Revision information" fieldset is present on the node/add form (in 6.15).

I think the OP was referring to whether the fieldset was expanded by default. But really, it shouldn't even be there. This is especially weird/confusing behavior when using content_profile and the user/register form includes "Revision information" fieldset.

(I've turned off the "Create new revision" setting on my content_profile content type to get that fieldset to leave, but I still don't think core should show that fieldset on node/add.)

If this is the wrong place for this bug feel free to reset the Version/Status and I'll create a new bug for this.

If you have the 'administer nodes' permission you'll see it no matter what. The original post is also by design if revisions are enabled for that content type.
