FWIW, I use this: - [X] +This task will probably be canceled+ I don't think we should implement a new status for canceled tasks. On top of the implementation (C-u C-u C-u C-c C-c ?), I believe it is more flexible to be able to let canceled tasks block the whole set of tasks---or not. So both these tasks seem useful to me: - [X] +A canceled task+ - [-] +A canceled task+ Implementing "canceled tasks" will probably force one interpretation over another, we lose in flexibility and readability. 2 cts, -- Bastien
