Yes,

Its discuss first, then implement  (If someone volunteers)

Better, than someone writing a lot of code, just to hear, it wont be used...

Of course about the will or wont be used: I am voicing my opinion. If 
other members of the development team have other opinions, they may 
accept patches, that do not have my liking. That would be perfectly normal.

No they should be invisible. Or they are misleading

Currently from a maintenance view, there is no issue. It's easy

Normal/ advanced can be based on the same code, that is used to search 
for keywords. All items, just need a tag, if they are advanced.

So it may be very easy to do. With almost no extra code
