Pymaemo-optify shows up for me at Other category as would any other non-standard user/ category. So I would say that user/hidden is not (yet?) implemented.

Hidden category doesn't help pushing pymaemo-optify updates for those users who don't have it already installed. But it can be used for pushing updates for packages which are not supposed to be visible in installable packages.

To get "normal" updates, all non user/* packages should be moved to user/hidden. Then I would wonder what's hidden category be good for when same behaviour would be achieved by simply updating all packages, no matter which category they are in. :)
