I think there is a chance that it still could. Basically, I see two paths 
--a low road and a high road. The low road is simply that "directory 
listings" use a bit more intelligence in sorting order. Something like:

    .quietdir1/
    .quietdir2/
     nomaldir/
     Louddir/
     CAPSDIR/
    .quietrc1
    .quietrc2
    normal1.ext1
    normal3.ext1
    normal2.ext2
    Loudfiles1
    Loudfiles2
    CAPFILES1
    CAPFILES2

Something like that, maybe even offer a couple of intelligent variations 
(e.g. group the same extensions together or not). While not a true 
de-cluttering solution. It would at least help a lot. Maybe if enough of up 
put in support requests to Github they would incorporate something like 
this. And even easier, maybe someone could write a better `ls`?

The high road, on the other hand, is for a very sophisticted solution to be 
developed that has very compelling set of features, if then adopted by just 
one highly popular project, it stands a reasonable chance of wide-spread 
adoption.

These load and high roads are not mutually exclusive. So both are worth 
pursuit.
