To just ignore it is not a fair comment. There are many people around
the world who take their religion very seriously.
I have asked some local members of the church and the say the
information on the LDS tab is specific to the church, therefore I can
see no reason to make it visible by default.
Having it as an option, as it used to be in preferences would be a good
solution. Gramps is becoming more widely used, (refer to the translated
languages) and many of these countries do not have an LDS presence.
As already stated most other programs do not have have such a tab for
imported gedcoms.
