in Umbraco v6 unpublishing node would unpublish it's descendants automatically, in v7 (7.1.6) unpublishing a node leaves it's children published.
From Sebastian's comment here it seems that this is expected behaviour, but I think that it is really wrong.
Firstly, children act as they would be unpublished - you can't get their url, it just says "This document is published but is not visible because the parent is unpublished". Also you get errors when trying to publish any children. This is inconsistent behaviour - why child node is published when it acts as unpublished?
Secondly, unpublished node children can be selected by Content Pickers (Multi Node picker included) which already caused me a lot of trouble.
I am curious if someone else have similar problem. If you think it makes sense to unpublish descendant nodes automatically when unpublishing nodes - vote for issue on tracker: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5472
Unpublishing node does not unpublish it's descendants - v7.1.6
