I sort of did this a while ago. I had a huge tangled mess of items that I was unlikely to do any time soon and unlikely to even organize any time soon.

If I'm not going to work on an action anytime soon, but I don't want to hide it permanently, I'll set the Start Date to a time when I might reasonably actually work on it. I'm not sure if if this is...
