There's been a lot of discussion about how to hide and unhide commits
lately [0][1], and I feel the complexity of our current approach is
hurting our ability to reason about it, making it impossible to make
progress.
I would like to formally propose a new pattern for dealing with hidden
commits, along with the concrete steps to getting it enabled in core by
default by the August release.
The proposal is quite concise, so check out this 1-page Google doc for
the details and to comment:

If people find this approach promising, I can commit to trying to get
this upstream by the August release. So if you have questions or
concerns, please let me know so I can address them.
