Well... sure. How should we group things into packages? If all of the classes in the diagram have a different package, this feature isn't very useful.
I suppose you could do something like this:
-Display a hierarchical structure of the packages in the diagram in the Outline view
-Have checkboxes next to each package; check only the lowest-level packages by default
---If a parent package is checked, display all subpackages as the same entity in the editor
-----You might want to disable all of the parent's subpackages at this point
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Support for UML package diagrams is a good suggestion. This could provide an effective way which, in conjunction with the new zoom functionality, would help to navigate large codebases.
We will discuss where in our release plan we can reasonably consider this.
