This is due to the now forbidden usage of BASE_NONE with FT_(U)INT* done
in r43412.
I first used a BASE_CUSTOM to get completely rid of the numeric display
but then nice filters like expert.severity == "Note" were not working
anymore :( Thus the tradeoff with the hexadecimal display.
But I agree with you: it would be better to get rid of them.
