Eliminate Views from Geodatabase Maintenance Tools

The geodatabase maintenance tools (Rebuild Indexes and Analyze Datasets) trigger warnings at best and fail at worst if view-tables are selected. My database has several hundred layers in it and weeding thru that list to pick out views is monotonous, and my automated model has to be rebuilt every time I add or remove something in the database.

Another idea would be to add a toggle to the tools to rebuild & analyze everything and not make the user deal with selecting individual items at all (but of course still have the option to do so).

My team's current maintenance process uses the arcpy "List" functions to only grab tables and feature classes to avoid this issue, it would be nice if you could throw an entire EGDB workspace at the maintenance tools and have it only process what it's capable of.
