Events 2.0 - RSVP to Registration

In the previous events platform, I could include an RSVP block in an email that allowed invitees to either decline the invitation or register to attend. The RSVP block in events 2.0 seems to act more like a poll--it collects responses to one or more options, but doesn't direct the yeses to register, nor does it appear to update invitee status to attending, not attending, or non-responder. Is there something I'm missing? The inability to customize the formatting of the RSVP block is also a frustration, but minor in comparison.
