+1: I have to admit, I've always missed this functionality.
The task may contain useful information in the notes field, so I don't want to delete it. But I never actually completed that task, so clicking "completed" is wrong. Moving to a "dropped" folder also doesn't work, because you then lose it's place in the hierarchy. A good example is my "Work/Clients" folder. I want to keep the tasks for each client in the same place. I want to keep the notes for that task. But if they cancel that particular task, I don't want to just delete it.
