Actually, the true zen[1] way to do this is to use ACHIVE anyway
and change your brain to accept that ARCHIVE does not mean the
thing is archived at all.  Or do

(setq org-archive-tag "KEEPCLOSED")

:-)

The side effect of this is that stuff in these trees ill never
contribute t the agenda - but if it is setup stuff, you
probably do not care....

These solutions will work if the subtree does not contain stuff
relevant for agendas.....

Zen emphasizes experiential wisdom in the attainment of
enlightenment. As such, it de-emphasizes theoretical knowledge
in favor of direct self-realization through meditation and dharma practice....
