Do *I* want to do?  Not when there already is a patch exists; I'd
rather take existing and tested patch ;-)

As I said, I view this primarily as solving the cluttering issue.
The use of hiderefs to hide these refs that point at objects I do
not consider belong to my repository from the pushers equally makes
sense as such, I think.
