FWIW, I use this:

- [X] +This task will probably be canceled+

I don't think we should implement a new status for canceled tasks.
On top of the implementation (C-u C-u C-u C-c C-c ?), I believe it
is more flexible to be able to let canceled tasks block the whole
set of tasks---or not.  So both these tasks seem useful to me:

- [X] +A canceled task+
- [-] +A canceled task+

Implementing "canceled tasks" will probably force one interpretation
over another, we lose in flexibility and readability.
