I also do not expect to grow Org into anything near a "full" PM.
But I do would be more than glad to get some basic (trigger or blocker)
functionality to model dependencies between todos.

Again, one of my main needs would be to hide todos until other todos are
in a certain state. Then show them after the trigger is pulled.
At the moment I have to a lot of todos in my agenda which I cannot work
on because of the "trigger" not ready. Or I have to "undo" the todos to
not see them and not forget to trigger them myself at the right moment.

Thats my 2 cents I stated the discussion with.
