It would be nice if we could hide certain steps from the build tree in "Running Steps".

For example:

dir('foo') {
  echo "Starting to build"
  sh "mkdir -p result"
  sh "make build"
  archive "result/*'
}

Here we are interested in the results and console log only of the sh "make build" step and we very likely don't need the results for Change Directory: start, Change Directory: body start, Print message, first "sh" step and Archive artifacts.
This probably should also be made configurable so that we can enable these while debugging.

Probably it is already covered by https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26107. Feel free to close my ticket if it is so.
