Comment (by westonruter):

 Only if the things hidden are limited specifically to //sidebar
 sections//. The active API is specifically defined to be about
 hiding/showing things that are not contextually relevant to the current
 URL being previewed, or for any other condition. For example, the new
 Publish Settings has an `active` state that is tied to whether theme
 previewing is being done and whether or not there are unsaved changes.
 Additionally, in Homepage Settings, the homepage and page for posts are
 contextual based on the choice for what to show on front. So if we wanted
 to override the behavior of contextually hiding panels, sections, and
 controls then this would have to be done on a case-by-case basis.
