So what you are proposing is to have all subtrees of the root either
hierarchical or not, right?

Toggle wouldn't help much I am afraid. We would still have to
distinguish (non)hierarchical cases. And I am not sure we can make
everything hierarchical easily. 
Most users (from my experience) ignored use_hierarchy for some reasons
and the end results might be really unexpected for them if they used
deeper subtrees (which might be needed due to combination with other
controller(s)).
