Limit "Recommended Tasks"

I'd really like to see the ability to filter "Recommended Tasks" so they don't get cluttered up with distant collaterals. I keep finding people I never heard of, and it turns out that it involves something like the third husband of a much-married several-times-great-aunt. I'd like to be able to dismiss these unwanted tasks, or filter them so I only see recommendations for my direct line... and not include the ancestors of adoptive parents either. I have one great-grandmother who was adopted and I keep getting stuff for her adoptive parents; I have no idea who her biological family was. Can we get optional filters or dismissals for those please?

    I love the "Recommended Tasks" filter feature idea. I am focusing all my family history efforts on one ancestral line. I would love to be able to filter off my other three lines. Only receiving recommended tasks on the line I am working on would help me be very efficient and productive during my researching time.

    @TBurgon Perhaps filtering Tasks in conjunction with Following labels would work.

    In your Following list if you label those you are following as Actively Changing - perhaps the Tasks list would filter or allow only displaying of those you are actively interested in?

    @JanetStory There is the option to IGNORE Hints - which would fill your dismiss request:
