I use mgtd extensively for work too. I do something a little like Simon suggests. If a project has become so low priority that nobody seems to care about it, I sometimes make it "someday/maybe". At some future review time, when it seems more important (perhaps because higher priority work has been done), I promote it to active, or leave it as someday/maybe. In the meantime, all the actions and subprojects are removed from my actions lists, making things clearer.
Sometimes I put a tickler in the someday/maybe project, just to remind me to review the project, say in a month. Tickers are always work, even in s/m projects. You see them in the "upcoming tickers" dashboard and they trigger on the day. Or if my project is waiting on another department (for example, waiting on the network dept to make a large network change, which will take some time, perhaps months), I sometimes make my project someday/ maybe. All of the actions and subprojects are thus removed from my action lists. At weekly or monthly review time, I see that someday/ maybe project and remember to chase the department I am waiting on, promote the project to "active" or just leave it as s/m.
