 That's fine and good; it wasn't clear from the "Introduction to Unity
Launcher" article that it would have a hide option nor which would be the
mechanism to show it again.

My previous post was not to criticize the Launcher design, just to
discourage mouse proximity as the method to show the hidden panel, since it
has several drawbacks.
