I did more thinking:
Enhancements tab might get too crowded with custom textures being moved there, so maybe Stereoscopy could go to a new "3D" Tab. There could be more options added to custom textures later, if necessary.
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to remove the Widescreen Hack, I mean "not needed to be enabled" for example where 16:9 is working fine in a given game, using it on top would probably break things, I know too much OSD messages aren't welcome but if it was only up to me I would have a little note for a few seconds at boot when Widescreen Hack is enabled only for the games which do have originally 16:9 "Warning. This game can display 16:9 natively" or something.

Keep in mind: There are a LOT of games that use 4:3 aspect ratio on the Wii that can benefit from this as well, starting with basically all 3D VC games, but also native Wii games (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/930752-nintendo-wii/64198688) and then we haven't even started talking about GC games yet... removing the Widescreen Hack (however hacky and buggy it is) WILL affect people using this for their games...
And I think (don't know for sure, a dev would have to explain) that the Widescreen hack does something similar to increasing the FOV (field of view) and then stretching the game to fit the screen effectively creating a so called Hor+ widescreen. Problem with this way of increasing FOV is that a lot of games do not expect the extra FOV and do some "culling" which is effectively just not rendering stuff outside the standard FOV and thus miss some graphics outside the default 4:3 area. This is where cheatcodes come in: some codes will just tell the game to not cull anything.
