I don't have a problem with unused tracks showing as long as 1) there is a vertical cursor (the very clear proposal in another video) and 2) there is a consistent numbering system for all the tracks (yes, Misha is correct that we spent a lot of time on this a few years ago). These ideas are essential for 'all tracks are equal' and the program is already moving in this direction by numbering the Utility tracks. Now get rid of any hard-coded differences for legacy tracks (bass, strings etc.) and this all makes more sense.

I might intentionally leave a track open for the moment but want to see that I've allocated a purpose to it for later use.

Could the 'eye' icon that is there in the mixer now take care of hiding unused tracks, even if those tracks occurred in the middle of tracks that were in use? Then it becomes an option, and I can have it the way I want it, and so can you.

But overall, +1
