Hi Orgers,
I work as an editorial assistant for a journal (together with a
friend). We get LaTeX files of articles, and have to convert them to
our template, do some proof-reading and corrections, send galleys to
authors etc. It is convenient to have a TODO Org tree for each paper,
with TODO subheadings for all these activities. Thus, I created a tree
called "Paper template" with all these TODO entries and copy it as
needed. However, I do not want them to show up an the agenda's todo
list. Is there a possibility to "disable" a tree, so that no its
subheadings appear in the global todo list?
If not, it's not a huge problem for me - I'll just write a small elisp
function inserting my template - but if it's not possible, maybe (and
this is a huge maybe!) such a feature is worth adding to Org-mode?
Best,

Custom agenda that excludes certain tags? Perhaps there's a way to
propagate some tag to the contents of the tree? Then exclude any items
with that tag?
Just a thought,

To exclude a specific TODO keyword or so, you can try agenda filters.
Check them out in the manual and in also check out the variable
org-agenda-tag-filter-preset.
To exclude a specific tree, you can try to tag the tree with the ARCHIVE
tag.

Did you try archiving the whole tree?

And now for something completely different;):
I sent my email, then went asleep. I woke half an hour ago, and a
thought occured to me: checkboxes. And now a little game: I wonder how
many of the answers I got mentioned this idea;).
