Hi John, After a bit of digging, I found out that you shouldn't need to make any changes at all to the partition tree, as the system should automatically avoid bidding on items that have been marked as out of stock. I'll double-check this for you, though, and try to find out whether there's any delay.
As for your original question, I'm afraid that PLA-style campaigns are going away during this month, so I would strongly advise against doing any development with them.
