Disabling TODO entries in a subtree

[Marcin Borkowski <mbork@wmi.amu.edu.pl>]

Hi Orgers,

I work as an editorial assistant for a journal (together with a
friend).  We get LaTeX files of articles, and have to convert them to
our template, do some proof-reading and corrections, send galleys to
authors etc.  It is convenient to have a TODO Org tree for each paper,
with TODO subheadings for all these activities.  Thus, I created a tree
called "Paper template" with all these TODO entries and copy it as
needed.  However, I do not want them to show up an the agenda's todo
list.  Is there a possibility to "disable" a tree, so that no its
subheadings appear in the global todo list?

If not, it's not a huge problem for me - I'll just write a small elisp
function inserting my template - but if it's not possible, maybe (and
this is a huge maybe!) such a feature is worth adding to Org-mode?

Best,
