Yes, that's what I meant. I see them as hiding files that typically are
not needed on a day to day basis by an "ordinary" user. The same way
that the application in question hides groups an ordinary user probably
doesn't need to be in (as far as I can tell from the emails - I have
never used the application. It seems sensible to me - a sort of if you
need it, you know how to find it basis.
I do however understand your point of view, but don't agree with it over
all.
