Well, if I could collapse it with a single click, it would be much
easier to scroll past it and get to the thing I'm looking for. I didn't
say remove it, just give me the option to hide it. ;-)

Oh goodie... So it's there to keep the machines happy?
It's just tedious that every single time I load up this page, I have to
spend 30 seconds manually collapsing everything so I can get to the
module I actually want to look at. (The alternative is to manually
scroll the 13-page list my hand. Not very funny...)
OK, so... can we add a pair of "expand all"/"collapse all" buttons then?
