We now control visibility by revision status, MVO and about five + other schemes. Having a classification visibility option would add even more convenience in drafting. Although I would extend classifications and properties to 2D elements also. Just another option to use or not use? Perhaps element viability could be added as a rule to the GOs using classifications and/or properties among the other options?
I am happy that the layers and layer combinations are controlled separately.

Yes I would love to be able to hide elements by GO, rather than just changing there appearance (making them white so they don't print for example).

That actually comes down to a wish that I wanted to add to a wishlist, but wanted to have some feedback first.
What do you guys think about creating Layer Combinations with criteria? Instead of trying to add new functionality to GO we could just change Layers which were created specifically for visibility settings.
Let's say you have a naming convention for your layers (E.g. We use prefixes for specific elements categories ' 1 | 1 | External Walls ') and then you could use a criteria to determine in which Layer Comb you would like to see which layers - By using "Begins with" in that case.
This would save some time and perhaps help to avoid some mistakes when creating new layers and then having to remember to update specific Layer Combinations.
What do you think? Is it worth creating a wish?

Now what happens when you want another layer combination that shows just one of those layers but hides the other two?
How would you do this except for creating criteria that looks at the whole layer name?
