Yes, my recent (unsuccessful) experiments have also been along these
lines. It's nice to know I wasn't barking up the wrong tree after all!

I should mention that while the idea is not new (and I've tried it
unsuccessfully myself in the past), I found looking at the Mango
and CrazyStone papers very helpful in this regard. For me, looking
at them both together was greater than the sum of the parts. Using
these papers as a guide, I was able to make my program 100 ELO
stronger using progressive unpruning/widening. So thanks to the
authors!

I'm no native speaker, but I think using the word "selectivity" may be
most descriptive.
Does "regressive selectivity" sound too weird ?
