Ideally, yes. You can set the severity to "enhancement" to indicate
that you are requesting a new feature.

Tree views tend not to work very well on small screens. It would be
quite easy to implement this if someone wants to have a go, though.

(as is your point 6). I agree it would be desirable, though. Gpe-what
probably needs to be redesigned somewhat to allow this kind of thing.

This would be easy to do, we just need someone to produce an icon.
