Yes, we need a better system to hide events. That is the one thing that we
had in 3.x that we haven't done yet in 4.x.
NOT FOR 4.2. No discussion on that. But right afterwards.

Correct.

This should be trivial to implement, again, not for 4.2 but I'm fine with
adding this afterwards.

Me too. I think the colored profile is one of the main features. But then
again, some people don't like ice cream.

We already have a couple of preference options that deal with color
choices (like the red vs. beige ceilign), we can add it there.

I repeat. AFTER 4.2
