Your use case

What would you like to do?

Once i've read the currently pinned msgs, i want to hit an "X" button or similar to hide them, as otherwise they take up too much vertical screen real-estate, plus are distracting.

Have you considered any alternatives?

You could hide them when you scroll up, like EX does. But frankly an "X" would be enough (and then have it reappear whenever they change).

Additional context

Currently, when a room has pinned messages an annoying, impossible to
dismiss bar will be displayed over the message area. This patch
introduces the following changes:

 - add a setting to control whether the PinnedMessageBanner is displayed
   or not (keep current behaviour as default)
 - add a pin icon to the room header

Why allow hiding pinned messages? Because the banner is annoying. I, and
judging by the +1s on element-hq#28183 a few other users, found it unnecessary to
always have it in front of our eyes. The new setting allows us to make
it go away.

Why add an icon for pinned messages if you can view pinned messages from
room info? I will answer this by posing another question: why display
the banner when pinned messages can be viewed from room info? Jokes
aside, the icon makes the access quicker--the UX is exactly the same as
for threads: you can see then from room info, or by clicking their icon.
