For the new api's that might be nice, but in the old entries world we expected to see through all the layers.... there were no layers.

So if we remove them now we have to somehow show them in all the deprecated wrappers. In our test suite we assume svn status shows these deleted nodes, so even there we would have to show them via some alternative route if we remove them from the normal children.

So I think this would be nice for 2.0+, and a lot of work everywhere if we do it now :(
(For AnkhSVN I'm afraid that I would have to bring them back in too, to make sure I see all project definition changes)
