A user has opened a couple of issues about the documentation of
hidden
columns in tables. https://github.com/osquery/osquery/issues/7750 Are they intended to be documented? They're hidden by default, not because they are secret or intended not to be used, right?

Look like it was retained for query compatibility when a field is renamed to something more descriptive or better suited to the result. Which probably should be documented as “deprecated” as of X release which then can be safely cleaned up on a later version. https://github.com/osquery/osquery/pull/2412

That was renamed 6 years ago. I’d be down for approving it’s removal.
