In VA, you also see the full hierarchy, inpependent of package (which is called Application in VAST/Envy). So VAST and VW seem to be pretty similar here.

I personally see little value in limiting the view, because in legacy code, it seems nobody ever cared. In additon, there is a hierarchy of Packages/Applications, so there is another dimension to this problem.

This Package/Application dimension makes things extremely complicated, because inheritance doesn't work based on the dependencies between packages/applications, nor does the Compiler or Method Lookup care. For those, the only creterion is whether the Class/Method is in the image or not. Packages are completely irrelevant for the runtime. So is there any use in not seeing a superclass because it is defined in another Package? I don't think so, because the subclass wouldn't exist in this image if the package containing its superclass wasn't there,

Of course there are questions that urgently need to be asked wrt packages: will this subclass or override be loadable into an image where Package X is missing? Is this package complete? So some filtering and stuff would be helpful. I must admit, however, that I rarely encountered these questions...

In such mode are shown subclasses of OrderedCollection depends on selected package? What will happen if you select another package?��

In VW for example it looks same but class hierarchy is just full hierarchy of selected class without any restriction from selected package. Selecting package just highlights class extension methods and nothing more.

I think nobody say about "bad idea". We just not understand desired view. Could you show some screenshots?

 here's what you see in VA Smalltalk when you open the Hierarchy of OrderedCollection
