Nothing against Hydra, but its hints are even noisier than what have now with repeat-mode. > I am attaching screenshots of how the 'lv' and 'posframe' hints looks > like for one of the "fancier" hydras in the project's README > (https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra) > > The core idea behind my suggestion is that /the/ repeat map itself is > the best judge on what sort of hint is the best. Right.

No doubt.
