Frontend-component-header does not honour SHOW_REGISTRATION_LINKS=False

I was trying to hide all registration links for our platform, and I found that there is no test for that config option here:

github.com/openedx/frontend-component-header

src/Header.jsx

master


      
          const mainMenu = mainMenuItems || defaultMainMenu;
          const secondaryMenu = secondaryMenuItems || [];
          const userMenu = authenticatedUser === null ? [] : userMenuItems || defaultUserMenu;
          
          const loggedOutItems = [
            {
              type: 'item',
              href: config.LOGIN_URL,
              content: intl.formatMessage(messages['header.user.menu.login']),
            },
            {
              type: 'item',
              href: `${config.LMS_BASE_URL}/register`,
              content: intl.formatMessage(messages['header.user.menu.register']),
            },
          ];
          
          const props = {
            logo: config.LOGO_URL,
            logoAltText: config.SITE_NAME,
            logoDestination: `${config.LMS_BASE_URL}/dashboard`,

This means that the “Register” link always shows when logged out, even with SHOW_REGISTRATION_LINKS is false.

Is that intended ?
