Maybe I should have been soberer while trying to imagine how the suggested features could be implemented in Org. In fact, I just thought it was challenging to figure out what could be the best implementation and, while trying to write down those ideas, I surely gave the false impression that I took for granted that Org should go that direction. But this is, of course, questionable. I think this direction is the good one if: 1. people provide convincing examples on how PM-like features would be useful for their own use of Org; 2. the implementation does not change what people already like in Org; 3. the implementation is incremental, slowly absorbing proposals from people really using them. As for 1. I can think of a very simple need I come accross quite often: I have a few headlines, and the first one is typically being marked NEXT. Once this task is done, I want the next one to be marked NEXT. Other example: when I cancel a headline, I want to interactively cancel subtasks that still populate the agenda buffer. For 2. and 3., only Carsten can have a clear view on that ones I guess.
