I would like to do exactly what Craig is doing, but if I use the contextual menu for a folder in the left pane with Projects selected, the check next to "Active" is there, but there is no way to toggle it off. All I see is "Active...Dropped...Focus... Open" and a few others, but there is no "On Hold" Option... actually I would just like the set to "InActive" because, as was mentioned by some else here. "On Hold" implies that it is active but just deferred for some reason.

I keep mine as projects within areas-of-responsbility folders that are themselves within a Someday/Maybe folder that is set (via contextual menu) as not active. That keeps the whole shebang hidden unless I'm viewing All Projects.
