Rob, let me make sure that I'm not misleading you about archiving of
recurring tasks. It works fine, the only problem is the archiving of
subtasks of recurring tasks.

Gory details follow.
When I complete a recurring task, MLO does *not* make a completed copy
and then create a new copy. It just resets the dates to the new
interval and leaves the task open. (The situation is more complex when
the recurring task has subtasks, but that's out of scope for this
discussion)

Since the recurring task itself is never in "completed" status, it's
not a candidate for archiving, so it's not necessary to exclude it
from archiving.

Btw, this discussion shows a weakness of the uservoice paradigm. The
need to manually exclude subtasks of repeating tasks from archiving
was a big obstacle for me and was very annoying, until I figured it
out. But now that I get it, it's not such a big deal for me. I'm
certainly not altruistic enough to devote any of my uservoice votes to
fixing it, when there are other things that I really need today. So
nobody is representing the needs of the future users. A marketing
professor of mine taught that designing your products to meet the
needs and wants of your users is a sure path to stagnation, you need
to design for your future users instead.
