i mean exactly the hidden status which means you cant directly go to the highlighted source.

My recollection is that the only justification for that was as a mechanism for "foot cannons here," which itself predates the more modern *.Internal module norms we hew to today.

What do you mean concretely? In most cases modules would remain exposed
(that is, importable). However, I doubt there will be any change in
their Haddock status (e.g. not-home or hidden).
