This is a good idea, but the proposal brings up the potential to add persistent / sticky header features for list views too — i.e. column headers that remain visible as you scroll down the table. This wouldn't be relevant on object detail views where the breadcrumbs are visible and relevant, but it would come into play on object-scoped list views like the one in the OP, where you would have both breadcrumbs and column headers as candidates for stickiness.

I think it's a good idea to add some dynamic scrolling behavior with a persistent sparse header, but let's give some thought to what would be the most useful (ideally unified across both detail and list views) set of features to have in that header. Otherwise once we start adding persistent header features (i.e. if we implement sticky breadcrumbs only) we're going to feel pressure to add more and more such functionality to it.

Looks like there are more requests on the UI, maybe indeed a good idea to gather them and combine
