You have to set it FOR EVERY SINGLE PAGE! That should be said enough, 
but I tell you a real life story:

An Austrian university uses TYPO3 in a multi-tree setup. The goal is to 
provide all content in German an English. But there are so many pages 
(of many departments) that this is not yet accomplished. Since a mixture 
of German and English menu items is less than optimal pk_limitmenutolang 
has been in use.

With 3.7 that was no longer an option. So we had to use a workaround: 
make an SQL-update of all existing pages and add a TCE default for 
"hide". This is dull. Why would I bother to set this flag on a per page 
basis?

I see absoultely no point in the page flag. It definitely should be TS 
config option.
