Greg, I was wondering much the same thing :-)

Another option would be to simply create a perspective or two that didn't include the SALs contributing all of the "noise" to the view. I find that most of my SALs contain stuff that needs to be done periodically, but isn't usually particularly time-critical, and thus screening part or all of it from view when I'm hard at work isn't a problem. Something more critical will likely have its own project and better visibility.
