I understand it *is* needed for Beamer.

For me, visibility in the original Org buffer and sections in export output
are orthogonal things. They don't impact each other.

Yes, but that would solve the problem of having "preliminary" notes well or not
exported in the output, depending on the fact you tag the section or not. That
was what you said: there is no good solution between saying that preliminary
notes will always be exported (as François wished) or never, if we can't
customize that.

And that would be not only for me: by putting a hook locally, my file won't
produce the same output for all the other users. That was the point of having
it in Org, as it seems it is a common request.

That said, that's not something I need; so I don't mind that much.

Best regards,
  Seb
