I was implementing holidays as tasks, because holidays do not show up on calendars. So actually, that triggers a separate suggestion: enable the display of holidays on calendars.

How about a task attribute that allows the strict check to be disabled? Silently fix the date only if I explicitly tell the software to do so.

I can't remember the problems I had extending the project time frame, but it wasn't that easy. One project lasts two years. That overlaps with a project that lasts only one month. Extending the one-month-long project to two years didn't work so well.

More external work that I did not want to do...
