Hiding clutter is hugely important in my opinion. If something is marked as irrelevant then hide it regardless of how the final timeline looks. However an obvious button to toggle show-all on the timeline would be equally important.
I see the intent as enabling a view of the important and relevant history but I think I can see the one point under discussion - should hidden nodes that bridge nodes on the same branch yield gaps or be joined: Given: -> a -> b -> c -> hide b Do you now have: -> a -> c -> OR -> a c -> My vote is to bridge the gaps: -> a -> c -> I'm very much looking forward to this change being available.
