At first it makes sense, but we do have headlines and TODO keywords to
express different states, colors and even sets of states. This is just a
checklist construct. I think if I wanted to mark something as canceled
or not relevant I would do something like this:

- [ ] this is important.
- [X] +canceled+ this is not important.

or even strike through everything. I think it's consistent in terms of
statistics; you want the total number to represent what you wrote down
and what's left does not include the "canceled" tasks.
