I agree ox-icalendar should have an option to exclude certain
todo-keywords from export.
However I think the option should also be flexible to allow exporting
todo-keywords as different STATUS:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.1.11
For example, in your case it might make more sense to export the task as
CANCELLED in iCalendar.
I think I'd rather have a customization option for this than a filter
function. That way, other Lisp programs that import ICS to Org (such as
org-caldav) could refer to this option to interoperate with ox-icalendar
for 2-way sync.
Perhaps we could have an option ox-icalendar-export-todo-keywords-as
which could determine whether a keyword should be exported, and if so
with what status, e.g.:
(defcustom ox-icalendar-export-todo-keywords-as
'((no-export . ("SKIP"))
(cancelled . ("KILLED" "CANCELLED"))
(in-process . ("PROG"))))
By default, todo-keywords not in the list would be exported with status
"NEEDS-ACTION" or "COMPLETED", depending on whether the keyword is a
done state.
What do you think?
