People who want to learn about openings will often times not come in knowing a name of a variation that they want to learn.
For most chess players, they not only want to practice openings but they want to discover openings as well. And they are only interested in pretty common openings if they are a new player. All the odd lines are just noise to them. The tree as it stands right now is not sufficient in that regard. It is flooded all the opennigs in existence, even those that will get players in trouble in two moves (fools mate is an example of this)
Not comitted to this but One easy potential slolution might be to hand curate say 50 or so common lines. Then the tree splits in two: all view and popular view, determined by a tb above the tree. Then there are two trees (really one tree but its data gets replaced), when all then all openings displayed. When popular only the hand curated ones.
