 Or, how about better relay management, and the ability to turn on and off relays as if they’re communities. 

You have your invite only tree relay - maybe you don’t want to see everyone on nostr - just that one relay of people.

Maybe you don’t want to post to all the relays, just to that one?

You can turn them all on, turn on public ones, see everything- or turn them off and be selective. Maybe you just have a friends only relay…. 
 Yes, I agree with that. We just need to figure out a nice way to expose that to users. 
 Just allow us to turn relays on and off. Damus does this in the global feed, where it will allow you to draw notes from a single relay, but for some reason this option doesn’t exist for the home feed, that just draws from all the relays you’re connected to. Also there’s no option when posting to the home feed. 

This would also help with data management, as the clients just constantly draw data from every relay. 

Just let me select which ones I’m using. 

Stop hiding relays as some background plumbing service and let me control the valves for my data flow.
