I understand the desire for on-hold actions, since that represents a different meaning than having a start date in the far future. But setting a start date in the far future is the current work around.

Can you help us understand how that "doesn't help a bit"? Presumably an on-hold action would appear in a project while viewing remaining actions, just like an action with a future start date. And presumably an on-hold action would not appear in a project while viewing available actions, just like an action without a start date. I think the only difference in behavior is that item with a future start date will automatically switch from "on-hold" to available. And if the start date is for the year 2100, that's an issue for our descendants to deal with. Am I missing something?
