I understand Joel's reasoning. On the other hand I found that I am actually using this system behavior. I set the project status (temporarily) to "Suspended" if my next possible action is far (months) away, to avoid the project showing in my "Active Projects" review. The "Next Action" in this "Suspended" project is a reminder to resume the project, and of course this reminder should show up in my ToDo view as an active task.
I am not sure if I could achieve the same thing using the "Review" property. Today I am not using "Review" because it adds another complexity layer and I think a "Due Date" reminder serves basically the same goal. Stéph schrieb am Sonntag, 1.
