You don't have to remove the hood to rotate the filter on the 70-200f4.
Just reach inside the hood with your index finger (keeping the rest of your hand out of the way), running along the side until you touch the flter edge. Then rotate with your finger tip. It's relatively easy to do this without touching the filter glass.As long as you don't use a slim circ polarizer filter which is really hard to rotate with one finger reaching inside the hood. Likely you will leave a fingerprint on the glass.
True, but why would you? I don't think that there are too many ultra-wides with a 67mm thread.

I use a hood even if I use a step-up ring for a CPL 
I have an 82mm CPL that I often use on the 24-70, so I need a step up ring. Easy to get on and adjust while shooting; occasionally a pain to remove when done, tho.
My CPL is thin and it doesn't make turning it any harder, in my experience.

Tomorrow I will be shooting the 400L 5.6 with a 77CPL on the 1DIII for nesting birds on the beach and the 70-200L IS F4 with a 67CPL on the 1DsIII for group shots when the flock is in the air.
I use a thin 77CPL on the 24-70L and a standard on longer lenses, also a 67CPL and a 72CPL and ND.
Changing filters is a drag and I always use a hood.
I am getting too old to screw around.
