I aggree for historical features that have established use in CLI and code,
that the GUI should reflect the API, so users who already know one can
recognise the feature as the same.

In this case, it's a new feature, and we can call it what we want, to
reflect the functionality.

Separate question. Is "supress" a good name? I can live with it, but I've
never liked it. It sounds more technical than it really is.

"Hide" is simpler, more honest language that's immediately understandable,
unambiguous.

Some of our language, eg. "commission" and "deploy" follow industry
practice, so they're the right word, even though they're slightly
ridiculous. You commission officers and deploy troops. I wonder why all
this language is so military?

So perhaps that's why "Suppress" - it's what the First Order does to The
Resistance?

But please, what we really mean here is "Hide".
