My vote would be hide them.
Problem is that it's only annoying to the player, it's not an inconvenient to the emperor.
And doing thing that hinders the player rather than hinder the emperor is against FreeOrion's core design principles.
By manually checking the design info provided by the sitrep, it's still possible to identify all of the enemy's designs, and to recognize them from one sitrep to the next.
It's just tedious as hell, but it's doable.
I guess that it's also doable without tediousness if one tweaks their client to do it automatically.
So basically, it's not an option to hide them (if we keep displaying information about the parts included in the design, I mean).
What would be nice is to have a tab for "enemy designs" like we have one for "monster designs" in the Design Panel.
We would see there all the designs that we met, and we could choose to name them ourselves.
Then sitreps would use this name (the one we gave) when mentioning enemy ships.
Basically what Oberlus said, actually.
